Newsweek In the summer of 1950, an unusual book burst onto the best-seller lists and almost instantly became the focus of a national cult. "Dianetics," an extraordinary blend of Eastern philosophy, psychoanalytic technique and futuristic theory, had been concocted by Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, a sometime explorer, engineer and science-fiction writer. The book offered a self-help answer to all manner of psychic and bodily ills, and the medical and psychiatric community responded with alarm. Partly for protection from these attacks, Hubbard in 1954 ...

The Bulletin (Australia) THE FEDERAL government's passion for commissions of inquiry into all manner of atrocity, iniquity and anomaly may have helped prepare the ground for some unofficial and oddly based fact-gathering bodies. When the Australian Citizens' Commission on Human Rights takes out newspaper space to call for submissions on "Psychiatric Violations," for instance, the casual reader might scarcely pause to remark that the commission is sponsored by the Church of Scientology. It has become almost a reflex in Australia to regard any activity ...

Nation Review (Australia) ONE OF the federal Labor government's many decisions in the past four months — recognition of scientology as a religion — has passed with little, if any, coverage by the Australian press. However, the move has been more than popular with the nation's 3000 active scientologists and has received rave reviews in the movement's press, both here and overseas. The government's proclamation, gazetted on february 15, recognised as celebrants of marriage fiftyfive religious bodies, including the Church of the New Faith ...
