J. Drukman: Thanks for the info.  I'll be heading over to Main St. ASAP,
credit card and/or cash in hand.

Other news which may be of interest to Love-Hounds: the September '89
issue of Yankee magazine has a general subject of hoaxes, frauds and the
like . . . and a four page article on Wilhelm (SP?) Reich, who went to
Maine to try to break a serious drought in 1953.  The article includes
photographs of Reich and his cloudbuster, as well as interviews with some
of the locals who remember the "mad scientist".  I found it interesting;
has anyone else seen this article?

PS It sounds like Reich did a pretty good job of cloudbusting! PMS
