Orgone Placement

Hi!

The misplacement of Orgonon from one coast of the United States to the other
in the "Cloudbusting" video is also quite easily explained.  Kate (or whoever
she had researching this and working the details out) looked on a map of
the US, searching for Portland, since Peter Reich mentions it in _A Book
Of Dreams_.  This is of course easier to find in Oregon than Maine, since
Portland, OR is roughly 4 times as big as Portland, ME, and not very many
Americans can find Maine on a map, either.  She (or whoever) found a Portland
in Oregon, spaced on the fact that the events in question happened in Maine,
and the infamous (to us Mainers, anyway ;) "Oregon Times" blooper was born.

This is of course only my theory- if anyone knows the real scoop behind that
one, please tell.
