Aging Conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler, backed by Goebbels, clearly could not stomach the competition given him by young Conductor Herbert von Karajan, a Goring protege, and undercut him at every opportunity.

Concerning your brief June 4 report on the sentencing of Dr. Wilhelm Reich [for violating an injunction by distributing orgone energy boxes]: the agents of the FDA have conspired with others to kill a great discovery. The tremendous scope and accomplishment of orgonomy, in a world in which lifetimes are devoted to the study of an ear or a nose, has in one way been a hindrance to its penetration in society. The ramifications of orgonomy into all branches of science, stemming from the single basic discovery of orgone energy, the erstwhile hypothetical ether which science, for good reason...
