...obvious from the mood of Wednesday's crowd-even before the violence-that there could not be another mass rally. The Moratorium coordinators realized this even before April 15 and did the only thing they could really do-disband...
Dianetics began losing popularity after the initial excitement caused by the book in 1950. Hubbard shrewdly chose to shift the emphasis from psychomatic healing (more fitting the mood of the 50's) to spiritual elevation, the obsession of a more spaced-out age. So in 1952, he renamed his movement Scientology. It was a wise decision, because the "truths" of Scientology are even less accessible to objective scrutiny than were the techniques of Dianetics. Now Hubbard flatly declares that Dianetics is merely training, a preparation for the cosmic quest of Thetanship, and Scientology...
...grand jury, sitting in Edgartown, Mass., began its work with high hopes. Foreman Leslie Leland, a Vineyard Haven druggist, pledged a complete and independent investigation; many jurors were apparently in an indicting mood. Their ambitions were quickly dashed by State Superior Court Justice Wilfred Paquet, 67, a no-nonsense jurist with a reputation for running a tight courtroom.

He also narrowed the scope of their investigation by informing them that they...

He was, almost certainly, several times a millionaire-and he was not at all ashamed of his wealth. "I am a very lucky man," he once said...
McCartney, to be released in the U.S. this week, is what used to be called a tour de force; today the phrase is "ego trip." Paul wrote all 14 songs, sings all the lead parts, plays all the instruments. In mood and style, the disk marks the same kind of return to simple pleasures, and a simple, countrified way of saying them, that characterizes Bob Dylan's recent work. One song especially, the Nashville Sounding Every Night ("Every night I just wanna stay out and be with you"), seems to be a genuine salute to Dylan's Tonight...
