Pardon?

Even Martin Gardner, anti-Reichian par excellence, admits that the
US Government burned Reich's notebooks after putting him in jail.

I have never until now heard anyone, whatever their view of Reich's work,
who denied this.



So do you claim that Martin Gardner (who prides himself on getting his
facts straight) "didn't know what he was talking about"?
