Prior discussions of the Parsons story are not confined to Scientology history.
It was covered (in 2 or 3 pages IIRC) in Mike Davis's 1990 book "City of Quartz". This book was widely reviewed and widely discussed, and was re-issued a couple of years ago.
That's where I first read the Parsons story, and I've seen it a few times since then.
- jonnathanson 13y ago"Prior discussions of the Parsons story are not confined to Scientology history." True. I'm just pointing it out because it's a big vector by which a lot of mainstream audiences are likely to have discovered Parsons and his extracurricular activities. Especially in recent years, with "Going Clear" coming out and hitting the charts. My point was mostly that this stuff is not fresh scandal, hot off the presses.
- mturmon 13y agoSorry if I did not convey that I was not correcting, just supplementing what you said. I already upvoted your comment FWIW.
- jonnathanson 13y agoOh, it's all good. I upvoted yours, as well. :) I have a tendency to respond with supplemental information to a lot of my replies, and from time to time, it can come across as defensive. It's not meant to be.
