John Carmichael, president of the New York office of the Church of
Scientology and its regional spokesman, acknowledged that
Scientologists had posted the flier in Keller's apartment house.
"We would have sent one to you (The Inquirer) too, if we thought it was
newsworthy," Carmichael said. "We are eager to get the message out."

A tale of two stories

Back in May, I wrote a short blog item for the Blade's web site urging
gays to boycott the new Hairspray film because the lead role
originated by the inimitable Divine was being played by John
Travolta, the nation's second-most-prominent Scientologist. In the
interest of avoiding another round of death threats, let's just say
Scientology has a complicated history when it comes to its treatment
of gays.

Will studio success ride with Valkyrie?

He casually brushes aside any mention of anti-Scientology protests and
critics who have compared him to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph
Goebbels.
"I really don't have anything to say about it. Just look at the
sunset," he said, abruptly changing the subject as he mingled with the
cast and crew of the movie Valkyrie and some of Berlin's civic
dignitaries at a cocktail reception on a hotel rooftop.
