Scientologists and Nazis June 26, 1997, Bertram Fields, New York Review of Books

---

So much for the heinous record. If Mr. Fields thinks that such treatment is being meted out to Scientologists in today's Germany, he is simply misinformed. But to paraphrase Talleyrand, his Open Letter was worse than an insult; it was a mistake. For it allowed German politicos of all stripes just to shrug it off as expensive hate mail -- which they could not have done so easily if the Open Letter to Kohl had been more sober and truthful.
