Sued By Church of Scientology
Paulette Cooper wrote in The Scandal of Scientology, that "On September 30, 1970, it was reported in the New York Post that the Scientologists were suing Delacourte Publishers and author George Malko for a book they did on Scientology." A motion for summary judgment by the defendant was later denied, in 1973. The Church of Scientology decided to sue after they had sent a letter demanding a retraction to the publisher, but the book was subsequently reprinted in paperback. The publisher later paid a legal settlement and did not release the book again in a printed format.
