He recalls the day when FDA agents arrived with court orders to dismantle the accumulators. The elder Reich was cooperative but bitterly sarcastic. "I could feel the glow from Daddy's head," writes Peter. He could also smell the Johnson's Baby Oil which his father always used to relieve his chronic eczema...

They all thought it so beautiful, in fact, that they contemplated not only a double divorce but a double wedding. Then the glow faded. On December 5, they switched back to their original partners, but "Marilyn cried for Mike," Fritz says, and the attempted reconciliation lasted only nine days. On December 14, there was another, presumably last switch. But Marilyn, influenced by what Mike calls her "background," felt too guilty to continue living...
