stomach if he didn't smoke." I dunno if that is near the true answer
or not.

My dear Neill:
- I •
April 12, 1956I was shocked to hear the bad news about Judith Bogen. How
ever I had known for 20 years that she would end up that way.
Thank you for your remark on my book on Christ.
With regard to Stalin, I am wondering why you believe it now, but
were unable to see it when I told you about it a decade or so ago.
Your note on cancer of the lung is correct; smoking is what we call
an accidental cause as distinguished from a specific cause, which in the
case of the cancer is putrefication and shrinking of the Life system.
You did not write whether my note on the NO in infants will be
printed. Your answer to the Indian visitor was the right one.

My dear Reich,
I am having a rest here for two or three weeks. Steig sent me
an article on your work. He says the trial is on April 30th. What
trial? Have you been ignoring the Court Verbot [ban]?*
Stalin. Why didn't I see it 10 years ago? I don't know. Maybe lack
of sufficient evidence. Maybe reluctance to believe the ideal of brother
hood had failed. But more on this when I get back to my typewriter.
- During Reich's desert trip, Dr. Silvert had remained in New York to take care
of the mail and minor administrative matters. Without Reich's knowledge, he had
had some books and accumulator parts shipped from Orgonon to New York; i.e.,
across state lines. This violated one of the provisions of the injunction and brought
on contempt proceedings against both Reich and Silvert.
