[>] He was "Fabian": On the recording of "Ron's Journal '67," Hubbard advised his followers that "so long as we are Fabian—elusive—we grow strong." Jon Atack, in an online essay, "General Report on Scientology" (home.snafu.de/tilman/j/general.html#JCA-84), takes it a bit further: "Hubbard asserted that the Sea Org is 'fabian,' and redefined that word to mean 'using stratagem and delay to wear out an opponent.' Hubbard wanted the Sea Org to be seen as 'a determined but elusive and sometimes frightening group.'"

Ziff Sr., founder of Ziff-Davis, and a brother of William Ziff Jr., who built the company into an empire, publishing such titles as Car and Driver and Popular Mechanics. Ziff's 2006 obituary in theNew York Times, however, made no mention of David Ziff, nor has his name come up in other references to the Ziff family, possibly due to his long estrangement over Scientology.
