anticipated its release.

"There is something new coming up in April called Dianetics," wrote
national columnist Walter Winchell on January 31,1950. "A new science
which works with the invariablilty of physical science in the field
of the human mind. From all indications, it will prove to be as
revolutionary for humanity as the first caveman's discovery and

Winchell's prediction proved correct.

DIANETICS: THE MODERN SCIENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH was published on May

overnight the book became a nationwide bestseller, with 25,000 letters
and telegrams of congratulation pouring in to the publisher. The
book hit the NEW YORK TIMES bestseller list where it remained week
after week, month after month, forever changing L. Ron Hubbard's
life and, as we shall see, the lives of millions.
