Not again.  The book is by Peter Reich, the son of Wilhelm Reich, the
inventor of orgone therapy.  "Cloudbusting" was based on this book; hence
its appearance in the video.  "The Scientist", as you called him, is
Wilhelm Reich; Kate plays Peter in the video.

A couple of months ago there was a lot of discussion of this song, so 
I'm not going to repeat it.  Kate has described the story line in many
interviews.
