Abstract

Dr. Wilhelm Reich claimed orgasms prevented mental illness and fought droughts (and UFOs) with giant energy guns. In the 1950s, the government called him a fraud, burned his books and busted up his lab in Rangeley. Now, his modern-day admirers have sunk more than quarter million dollars into a documentary to redeem his name. Is Dr. Reich's long strange story about the climax?
