Outside some Scientology centres are magazine covers of Tom Cruise and John Travolta addressing passers-by with the caption: "I'm a Scientologist. Come in and find out why." In 1978, nine top Scientologists, including [L. Ron Hubbard]'s wife Mary Sue, were jailed for burgling and wiretapping IRS offices. In 1984 in the Royal Courts of Justice Mr Justice Latey described Scientology as "corrupt, sinister and dangerous", "grimly reminiscent of the ranting and bullying of Hitler and his henchmen." | John Travolta, Press, Tom Cruise |
