After Iowa, David passed through a number of jobs. One was as a supervisor at the Addison, Illinois, factory of Foam Cutting Engineers, a company that also employed his father. For a while in 1978 one of his subordinates was Ted, who had left Montana briefly in the hope of earning some money. According to investigators, at the factory Ted began dating a female supervisor. (A fellow employee told TIME it was a single date.) After their relationship went nowhere, he responded by composing crude limericks about her and posting them around the plant. When David ordered him to stop...
...Wold, 45, a Berkeley graduate from those years. "You had to choose. You were either part of it or you were against it." Again Ted hid in plain sight--no friends, no allies, no networking. When he suddenly resigned after teaching for two years, the department chair, John W. Addison Jr., tried and failed to talk him into staying. Not that dropping out was such a surprising move in that era. "It was not uncommon," recalls Addison, now professor emeritus of mathematics.

...Thursday, Laverne Ward, 24, rang up his old girlfriend Deborah Evans, 28. Evans, a welfare mother with three children and another on the way, had moved away from Hanover Park, a drug-infested Chicago suburb frequented by Ward, to try to rebuild her life in middle-class Addison.

After his book came out, Faulkner's widow hired a plane to fly a banner proclaiming that publisher "Addison-Wesley supports convicted cop killer." The Fraternal Order of Police, meanwhile, has lobbied actively for Abu-Jamal's death...
Most of all, Kennedy was a seducer, wielding his personal charm as a form of power: "Men and women fell in love with him." He was a skilled dissembler and sometimes a liar. He claimed to be healthy and filled with "vigor," but he was chronically ill with Addison's disease, agonizing back pain, a weak stomach and puzzling allergies. He was kept alive by a cocktail of medicine every day, along with cortisone implants in his thighs and feel-good amphetamine injections. Kennedy's secret sexual encounters with dozens of women are now well known. Reeves documents some...
