Lecture: Creating a Third Dynamic (1957)
The main thing--the main thing I'm saying is, that an organization which has a multiple, not-apparent purpose would probably be very successful.

This new manual on civil defense is based on training which I had as a civil-affairs officer. There are probably about ten … [Read more...] about Lecture: Civil Defense: New Channels for Putting Dianetics Into Society (1) (1951)
