...death inspired his father Edward, a physician, to start his own investigation of the church. "We thought Scientology was something like Dale Carnegie," Lottick says. "I now believe it's a school for psychopaths. Their so-called therapies are manipulations. They take the best and brightest people and destroy them." The Lotticks want to sue the church for contributing to their son's death, but the prospect has them frightened. For nearly 40 years, the big business of Scientology has shielded itself exquisitely behind the First Amendment as well as a battery of high-priced criminal lawyers and shady private...

So has she, evidently, because before long the two are tearing at each other's clothes on a floor in Anna's London house...
Kuwait is a tense nation at a tough time, "a place in need of therapy," says Dr. Abdul Rahman al-Awadi, a physician who long served as his country's Health Minister and is now Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs. Everyone has witnessed an atrocity or has a tale to tell. Al-Awadi turns pale when he recalls the story of an Iraqi patrol that spotted some Kuwaiti children playing in the street.
