Was the Hubster emulating Jubal Harshaw from Heinlein's Stranger In a Strange Land? Or was he just a malignant narcissistic a-hole? I do hope Ver-dawn Hartlwell escaped, but she probably 'aged out' when she hit 17 or 18. Hubs liked them pubescent. I bet Ernst and Adell Hartwell never got any money back from Hubbard. The First Rule of Acquisition does not allow for returning money.

"the biggest most confused mess I ever saw.” So much for 'org boards' and Lroon's 'management tech'. Hubbard's penchant for punishing people en mass for one person's mistake was routed in his Navy training. Punishing an entire barracks for one person's 'infraction' was a common practice. But keeping toilet paper away from the minions is treasonous to the American lifestyle.
