in the foreground next summer. Our medical men are keenly aware of
the urgency of the educational task.
I am still at Orgonon, but shall go back to N.Y. in about 10 days.
There are too many obligations in N.Y. to be attended to. During
October every weekend 4-5 doctors came up for courses. Also the plans

and similar types will be taboo. We are looking toward the future and
not toward an ugly past.
You know more about Orgone physics than you are ready to admit if

Re the Christ story. I once read it to a group of children who had
had no religion at all. Their opinion was that J .C. was a fine guy, but
that Judas had had a dirty deal in some way. The interesting point was
that they thought Judas was a fall guy for someone else, and one of
them, without knowing that [George Bernard] Shaw had said it before,
