Meanwhile, one of the most vociferous converts to dianetics, Williams College's cause-chasing Professor Frederick L. Schuman, protested in a letter to the New Republic against an unfavorable review of Founder Hubbard's book, Dianetics. Snorted the editors in a one-paragraph reply: "While Dr. Schuman is a distinguished authority on political science, we do not feel that on issues involving psychiatry he is entitled to any more respect than any other layman.

Some of Van Anda's news decisions are classic: he took a one-paragraph report that the steamship Titanic was in trouble, expanded it into columns of type-while other Manhattan papers played the story down, and at least one pooh-poohed the whole thing because the Titanic was "unsinkable." Van Anda perceived that General Ludendorffs big offensive on March...
