hi de hi
just got to recommend all here to read this great book, a collection of journals and letters by Reich.
marvellous stuff, his letters to Einstein are a great read, Einstein shits out and blanks him, Reich getting more and more frustrated with the whole world.
a must read..

He was a very interesting scientist whom the US government threw in jail, where he died. They also burnt his books. Liberty and Justice for All, eh?

scientist who studied under Freud, discovered the Orgone, a great discovery in Cancer research.
and as Marlowe said, the fuckin yanks locked him up and burnt all his books, he died in jail.
A very intelligent but tortured man.
The trial of Willhelm Rech is a great read too, and i'd love to see the play.
worth finding out about this guy, excellent

Also investigated the dangers of sexual repression. His book "The Mass Psychology of Fascism" is a classic.
