NY Newsday The Church of P.R. Looks like this public relations
agency could use a public relations
agency. Some execs at Hill & Knowlton, the world-renowned P.R. firm
with such prestigious clients as Kodak, Pepsico International and Proctor & Gamble, fired off an internal
memo last week announcing they're dropping their Church of Scientology
account. The memo, we hear, was the result of an unflattering Time article about Scientology and the resulting
flak Hill & Knowlton received because of it. "We are in the process of winding down on that program," a
spokesman told us. "We have indeed advised [the Church of Scientology)
that we are resigning." And did the
pressure to resign that account come
from inside the firm -- or, as we were
told, from some of its big clients?
"We're not going to comment on client programs," the spokesman said.
Oh, yes, and just as we predicted, we are
getting annoying crank letters from
Scientologists calling us horrid
names for saying they'd send us
crank letters after we said they'd
send us crank letters.
