...name was Anthony Blake, good AngloSaxon name from a good Anglo-Saxon background in the heart of suburban America. He enlisted out of high school, because he had never been a bright boy and his high school counselor thought it best that he get his military service out of the way. No one knows whether the counselor will attend the funeral. They do know Anthony was a good boy, if a little careless behind the wheel of a car, and so the lamentations have begun in the homes of Anthony's friends and family...
Desani's hero, H. Hatterr, is an Anglo-Indian and a "true spiritual devil-may-care." In seven symmetrical chapters, he seeks enlightenment from some sages of India, then sets out to the countryside to apply his new-found wisdom.

Attempting to exorcise the mystical fit of an itinerant bard, he is himself accused of being possessed by a spirit and is nearly burned alive on a pyre.

It is a religious occasion presided over by the spiritual leader of 600 million Catholics; yet at times it resembles nothing so much as Shea Stadium on banner night, with overtones of the Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall, the National Spelling Bee and the state fair...
...About Radiation (1957), Hubbard discusses brainwashing, psychiatry, and Russia in a revealing way. "Russia gave the Anglo-American world all that the U. S. and Great Britain use in the field of psychiatry, a Russian German science. Germany gave our culture all it used of psychology, a German science. Austria contributed psychoanalysis. Until Scientology, there was no Anglo-American thinking about the mind. It was all Russian, German, and Austrian. Now you don't suppose these three countries gave America and England total sciences, do you? No. They held out on us. Thus Anglo-American knowledge of the mind...
