...lifetime. And Mankind has had no better friend." So ends the standard short biography of Hubbard found in nearly every Scientology publication. Large photographs of the Founder are hung in most Scientology centers. Hubbard divides his time today between a mansion in England and a ship in the Mediterranean, where he is supposedly conducting research. There is reason to believe that he is also making a fortune out of his mushrooming empire-it was reported in the Aug. 23, 1968 issue of Time that he has deposited over $7 million in numbered Swiss bank accounts...
...presence in the Middle East, particularly Egypt. "The Soviet Union," Eban told TIME Correspondent Marlin Levin last week, "has not had to use any armed force, has not had to conquer any territories, has not established a Communist regime, and yet has developed a deep penetration of the eastern Mediterranean."

Patrick Fiorello Ginsburg is a hypothetical young man of indeterminate age. His E.Q. (Ethnic Quotient), however, can be precisely and succinctly stated as J64:Med23:G13.

In the case of young Ginsburg, his teachers would be Jewish, Mediterranean and Irish in just the same proportion as his own ethnicity. So would his curriculum-and, for that matter, his school lunches. For Ginsburg, this varied diet would alleviate the relatively high content of polyunsaturated fats found in blintzes, salami and the other elements of the J cuisine...
Their goal was ambitious: to extend the language of jazz even farther than the progressives and, at the same time, restore its old freewheeling gut-blues intensity. Drawing on African primitivism, Mediterranean and Asian folk music, and sounding at times like Viennese atonalists, the new jazzmen vary tonal centers, when they are used at all, as often as they do moods. Basic rhythms, unavoidable before, are often merely implied or forgotten entirely now. But as Ornette Coleman says, "When it's done with taste and love, hardly anybody wouldn't like...
