Message-ID: Date: 10 Apr 91 09:21:25 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Organization: California Institute of Technology, Pasadena Lines: 20 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu In response to the recently posted article, all of the rumors about procter and gamble are not true, as I understand the situation, they were started by some Amway salesmen, in attempt to discredit the corporation. The symbol that has been referred to has been recently taken off of all of the Procter and Gamble products, but the rumors still linger on. Procter and Gamble is a good company and they are not involved in the Satanic Cult thing, and would not. Thanks. Stephen stephen@betwixt.cs.caltech.edu [I think we've now had enough answers on this topic (indeed maybe too many). It's apparently not a case of rumors lingering, by the way, but of a different salesman starting a new set in a different area. The symbol was "deemphasized" after the last set of rumors. It's sort of a shame. The symbol was a fairly old one, as least as American companies go. I believe the stars came from Star candles, one of the earliest prodcuts. I don't recall where the moon came from. --clh]
