Tony Ortega Source:
Village Voice L. Ron Hubbard, the pulp fiction writer who gave the world Battlefield Earth, as well as a nuisance known as Scientology, would have turned 97 years old this Thursday, March 13.

On Saturday, March 15, the surprisingly upstart, leaderless movement known as “Anonymous” will ...

Richard Leiby Source:
Washington Post Okay, should we address him as Dr. Tom Cruise from now on? Or will the Rev. Dr. Cruise suffice? Whatever: Anybody who watched the actor's performance on NBC's "Today" show yesterday witnessed an unsettling transformation.
