That's good news if Terry Semel is a Scieno. I can't seem to find his
name on the "completion list".

He got booted out? With his OT superpowers that allow you take control
of time and space, and be successful in everything?!
Surely not............
Exposing $cientology agents and trolls:
if you are intelligent and think for yourself, they defame, libel, and
abuse you as being mentally ill. If you are not intelligent and don't
think for yourself but adopt their mentally retarded, narrow, false,
insecure, and hate filled opinions, they call you sane. - Thanks, I'd
rather be my own thinking person.
Hey Barbera, I fixed your sig. It reads properly now.

Aaah.....thank you for the info,Skipper.
Woggle
for his business interests.
I have not been able to find *any* documentation of Terry Semel
admitting to be a Scientologist.
Time Magazine, which says "None are adherents of Scientology." :

HOLLYWOOD'S GLITTERATI CIRCLE THE WAGONS
Monday, Feb. 10, 1997
By KIM MASTERS/LOS ANGELES
The names adorning the full-page letter in the International Herald
Tribune guaranteed attention: Dustin Hoffman, Goldie Hawn, Larry King,
Gore Vidal. Others, like Michael Marcus, Terry Semel, Sherry Lansing,
Casey Silver and John Calley, may be less familiar, but in Hollywood
they are just as famous and considerably more powerful as top
executives at five of the major studios--MGM, Warner, Paramount,
Universal and Sony Pictures Entertainment.
None are adherents of Scientology. Many are Jewish, provoking lots of
buzz over why they endorsed a high-decibel comparison with the
Holocaust. Marcus and others say they oppose any religious
persecution. Several say they signed out of respect for the letter's
author, entertainment attorney Bertram Fields, whose client list
happens to include Scientology's most prominent celebrities, Tom
Cruise and John Travolta.
Fields says he was aroused when some members of Germany's Christian
Democratic Union Party called for a boycott of Cruise's Mission:
Impossible. The boycott failed, but it prompted Fields to write and
pay for the $56,700 ad. He insists he was not retained by any
Scientology organization and never discussed the ad with anyone
affiliated with Scientology. Both Cruise and Travolta, he says, have
since thanked him for his initiative.
All the executives involved are in business with one or the other of
the two stars. Sony is profiting from Cruise's Jerry Maguire.
Universal has signed Travolta for Primary Colors. Paramount released
Cruise's Mission: Impossible. MGM distributed the Travolta hit Get
Shorty. Warner has a project with Cruise and his wife Nicole Kidman.
One studio boss acknowledges being "mindful" of a desire to do a film
with Travolta when Fields' request crossed his desk. "When I get a
letter from Bert Fields, right or wrong, I give it more credence," he
says. "Should I have spent more time on it? Maybe. But if there is
persecution in the world, isn't that a bad thing?" Several others
maintain they signed to pose the same question. "If you asked me, do I
know a great deal about Scientology, I do not," acknowledges former
MCA president Sid Sheinberg. "But I don't think I have a burden to
know." His concern is governmental persecution of any religious group,
particularly in Germany. "The world should be cautious looking at
anything that goes on there, given their rather blemished past," he
says.
An executive who declined to participate is Joe Roth, chairman of the
Disney studios, which did well with the Travolta film Phenomenon.
"Bert made it less about [Scientology] and more about connecting to
feelings about the Holocaust," says Roth. "Either that, or they're all
whores for Tom Cruise and John Travolta, and they wanted to be on the
right list."
