(1 Cor. 6: 1-9) But an organization called "the church of Scientology" appears to have taken just the opposite course, in what seems to be a means of acquiring extensive publicity and at the same time frightening anyone inclined to expose their operations. Scientology, which focuses upon intimate interviews using ...

Flint Journal (Michigan) Whatever else it is, it's a phenomenon, and a controversial and mysterious one at that. Beyond that, it's difficult to say just what Scientology is — except that it is an organization and a way of thinking gaining attention in the Flint area and across the world as it grows rapidly in adherents and publicity. Since Scientology opened a branch here a few months ago in a former pool hall at 2102 Joliet a few months ago, handouts have appeared on ...

Washington Post The U.S. Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that since the Scientology organization had made a case—uncontested by the Government—that it was a religion, a 1963 raid on its headquarters was illegal because it violated its constitutional rights. In a much-publicized raid on Jan. 4, 1963, agents from the Food and Drug Administration seized so-called "E-meters" and stacks of literature from the headquarters of the Founding Church of Scientology here. The FDA charged at the time that the Scientologists made false claims ...

Jackson Hole News (Wyoming) Two weeks ago Skier-Mountain Guide Bill Briggs, 39, of Jackson became the first person to attempt and succeed at what has been called the impossible — the first ski descent of the 13,770-foot Grand Teton. "It's not that difficult," Briggs remarked in an interview with the NEWS. "It's very similar to climbing the Matterhorn for the first time — it has the stigma of the unknown and keeps frightening people off." Briggs spent the night prior to the descent at the ...
