...unlike Ted, who was once described by the chairman of the mathematics department at the University of California, Berkeley, as "almost pathologically shy," David was more personable, even talkative when he got going. And unlike Ted, he eventually reached an accommodation with the larger world. In 1990, just before their father committed suicide while suffering from terminal cancer, David came north, cut his hair and soon thereafter married his high school girlfriend, Linda Patrik. She teaches philosophy at Union College in Schenectady, New York, near where they live. For the past three years he has been a counselor for troubled...
However maladroit he could be in conversation, or maybe because of that, Ted liked to put his thoughts and feelings down on paper. In the early 1970s, after abruptly leaving his teaching post at Berkeley, he wrote a long essay that opposed funding for scientific research, particularly in the field of genetics. (The same points appear in the Unabomber manifesto.) In the hope of getting his essay published, or at least publicized, he sent it to columnists around the country...
David began to suspect something in the summer of 1995, when news accounts about the Unabomber reported he was thought to have grown up in Chicago and to have lived in or around Berkeley and Salt Lake City, Utah, all places where Ted had spent time. When the manifesto was published a few months later, David thought he could hear his brother in its philosophy and language. It wasn't just the rote denunciations of technology, a sentiment familiar to anyone who ever cursed a computer. Ted and the Unabomber shared certain turns of phrase. For example, "Eat your cake...
...BERKELEY, AS AN ASSISTANT professor on a tenure track at the world's premier math department, Kaczynski seems to have lost his way. Again the radical politics of the antiwar movement were "in your face," recalls Robert 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...
Already they have run down some bus tickets for trips out of Helena and identified the hotel he frequented there. Other agents last week were scouring hotels in Berkeley and Sacramento, California, showing clerks pictures of their suspect, hoping to place him in the city at the time when bombs were postmarked there. One of two typewriters found in the shack appears to match the one that produced the manifesto and will be subjected to comprehensive tests; the dna from saliva found on the stamps may be compared to Kaczynski's. The most daunting task, and one that may never...
