The responses to our premiere edition — through letters, telephone calls and personal contacts — told us that readers want to know more about what the Church of Scientology is and what Scientologists do.
In this issue, we report on effective community-based programs which are enabling people to become literate and dig their way out, to free themselves from the shackles of drugs, and to shut the door on a life of crime. These programs are flourishing in the Los Angeles area and Freedom is proud to highlight them for our readers.
