Wikipedia's biographical article on Helen Schucman, covering her career as a research psychologist at Columbia University, her collaboration with William Thetford, and her account of scribing A Course in Miracles between 1965 and 1972. Useful for the biographical spine, birth and death dates and academic career; not a source for the theological content of the Course itself.
