I have lots of them. This first one is for the oldest of the old timers.
Hubbard's paranoia and fair gaming are an integral part of his personality and go way back. The very first popular book critical of Scientology was probably Martin Gardner's 1957 Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science. The 1952 edition titled simply In The Name of Science came out just as Hubbard was creating $CN from the ashes of his Dianetics experiment and Gardner trashed it pretty badly. I have never heard that Hubbard tried to Fair Game Gardner. Did he, and I just missed it? If he didn't, does anyone remember his reaction to Gardner's book?
