If  anybody other than L. Ron Hubbard is to blame for
Scientology, it'd have to  be John Campbell, the
publisher of Amazing Stories, who provided space  in
his magazines for excerpts from Dianetics back in  the
day.

Anyone seen the new Scientology Center in  San
Francisco?  It's in a beautiful building, right across
the  street from what used to be Melvin Belli's old
office, near the  Transamerica Pyramid.  There's always
a table out front where you can  get one of those
questionnaires Scientologists are always passing  out,
or if you're really ambitious, you can get strapped to
an  E-Meter.  I've noticed that there are always a lot
of people smoking  in front of the building.  I guess
they're not clear yet.

As  "Bob" Dobbs says, they may be pink, but their
money's sure  green...

And -- as much as I am amused by Scientology, I  really
don't think you 
can
blame Crowley for it! 


Maybe Tom Cruise is Crowley's resurrection...with a lot more money (much of  
which he's donated to the cause, I've heard, which might explain their lovely  
architecture...)
