...Most of all, the affidavits and other documents revealed a mentally unstable man who struggled mightily to keep his pain under control. A year before the anthrax attacks, Ivins confided to a friend: "I wish I could control the thoughts in my mind," he wrote in an e-mail. "When I'm being eaten alive inside, I always try to put on a good front here at work and at home, so I don't spread the pestilence." Ivins apparently managed to conceal his torment from his colleagues. "He was a rock," says Dr. W. Russell Byrne, who ran Ivins...
...mental health began to deteriorate, he also faced a spike in pressure at work. The Army's anthrax vaccine was plagued by production problems, and Ivins and his colleagues were charged with figuring out why. In an e-mail to a friend, Ivins wrote that he sometimes felt as if he were watching himself work at his desk from a few feet away, a classic symptom of what psychologists call dissociative behavior. After 9/11, Ivins wrote his friend that he was saddened and extremely angry about the terrorist attacks. He was in group counseling at the time...
...most powerful piece of evidence to be released, lab records show that in September and October 2001 Ivins worked late - much later than usual - on the nights leading up to the days on which the anthrax letters were sent. In December 2001, he wrote the most disturbing e-mail of all the messages released by the Justice Department: "I made up some poems about having two people in one (me the person in my dreams): ... I'm a little dream-self, short and stout./ I'm the other half of Bruce - when he lets me out./ When...
...religious responsibilities. Unlike some other conservative religious leaders during this long election season, he has remained conspicuously neutral on candidates. When he pushed to "unstick" an earlier stalled attempt to get John McCain and Barack Obama together, he did so by sending a personal "Let's do it" e-mail to each of them. The payoff is the Aug. 16 event, a kind of coronation for the 54-year-old, jovially hyperactive preacher. "It's remarkable. The candidates are according him tremendous status," says William Martin, author of the definitive biography of Billy Graham, A Prophet with Honor...
...During the 2004 presidential election, he seemed to toy with using his new influence to become the next Jerry Falwell or James Dobson. Although he did not officially endorse George W. Bush, the mega-author made no secret of his preference. Two weeks before the election, he sent an e-mail to the several hundred thousand pastors on his mailing list, enumerating "non-negotiable" issues for Christians to consider when casting their votes: abortion, stem-cell research, gay marriage, euthanasia and human cloning. Shortly after the election, two attendees of a Washington meeting of conservative religious and political heavyweights remember...
