Thanks to a vistor for this report. There's something going on given this frequency of attacks. Richard Gilman reviews An American Odyssey by Wilhelm Reich. Yet such is the persistence of the myth of brilliance brought down by ignorance, or innocence martyred by power, that he hangs on, clinging to an insubstantial and ill-earned immortality, as the publication of this lugubrious book testifies. After damn-near seventy years of attempted marginalization, Wilhelm Reich still speaks to the ages, his books still get reviewed in the daily newspapers, and still has the power to outrage all the right people.
Politicians are the easiest people in the world to set up.
They're all whores. This is all very bizarre. In fact it's all really so petty, uh, one wouldn't even take it seriously if these people weren't going to the news media or taking it to the district attorney of Mendocino County. A dozen publishers, journalists, and electronic media producers call on Mendocino County District Attorney Norman Vroman to begin a local investigation into the 1990 bombing of Judi Bari on the ninth anniversary of the crime.
