Here's another bit of trivia:  Reich's (former) laboratory is 
now a museum, a few miles southwest of Rangely ME, with 
a glorious view of Saddleback.

Reich was briefly famous in the USA for his theory of 
orgone energy and his cloud-buster devices.  In modern 
parlance, he'd be known as a crackpot.  The museum is 
cool, though.  The sort of place you'd expect to find a 
1950s-era "mad scientist."

Reich died in 1957 in a US federal penitentiary, having 
run afoul of the FDA for some of his experiments.
