Publisher Victorious on Hubbard Biography
May 27, 1990, New York Times
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE6D6113EF934A15756C0A966958260
The ruling, issued Thursday, overturned a lower court's decision, and
barring the unlikely chance of a rehearing or a quick reversal by the
Supreme Court, the biography will be published in its original form
next month. Michael Lee Hertzberg, who argued the case against the
publisher, said the plaintiff had not decided whether to appeal.
The book is ""A Piece of Blue Sky: Scientology, Dianetics and L. Ron
Hubbard Exposed,"" by Jon Atack. The author was a longtime member of
the Church of Scientology. But he later turned against the church,
contending that it was a dangerous cult, and his book is critical of Mr.
Hubbard, a prolific author who died in 1986.

Narconon rehab facility may land in Destin neighborhood
May 27, 2008, Fraser Sherman, Northwest Florida Daily News
http://www.nwfdailynews.com/news/narconon_8116___article.html/destin_ross.html
In 2007, the Rosses twice tried to buy houses in Miramar Beach as a 30-
or 28-bed "educational center" for patients who have already completed
a 30-day stay at the Destin facility. Some Miramar residents objected
to having a rehab center in their neighborhood, while some were
concerned about Narconon's ties to Scientology.
Ross said the Destin home they want to open would be much smaller,
holding about six adults who have been in Narconon's program for at
least two months.
Members of the City Council say they've heard from Destin residents who
object to Narconon's operations. Gallander said that City Land Use
Attorney Scott Shirley has reviewed the law, and concluded that
Narconon has the right to open a "small community residential home" as
the city's codes define it, in a single family neighborhood.

The Last Crusade
May 27, 2010, Nate Jackson, Inland Empire Weekly
http://www.ieweekly.com/cms/story/detail/the_last_crusade/3257/
According to Headley and other former Sea Orgs that spoke to the
Weekly, workers inside Golden Era can't come and go freely from the
property. All incoming mail, phone calls and personal contact are
screened by security. At a media press conference in Hollywood on
February 12, 2010, Headley described horrendous beatings of people like
himself, who at one time was allegedly punched repeatedly by Miscavige
during an argument in 2004.
However, reports from current Sea Org members at Golden Era paint an
entirely different picture of life on the compound.
Fraser gave the Weekly pages of written comments from current Golden
Era Sea Org members. They supposedly give an insider's perspective on
life at Golden Era. However, they weren't permitted to speak in person
or on the phone to the Weekly.
