...official courtroom artists at the Unabomber trial, I sat only a few feet away from Kaczynski when he pleaded guilty. I could see his face as he answered each charge of murder with a crisp assent. Unseen by the gallery, he even laughed during a private exchange with an attorney as the charges were being read. I was chilled, not only by the tragic events that left anguished relatives, maimed victims and grieving widows in their wake but especially by the remorseless behavior of the man responsible. If those eyes weren't the eyes of "a sicko," then they belonged...
...worked at the local Illinois library that Kaczynski's parents visited weekly for their reading material. I have a very hard time recognizing dear Wanda Kaczynski in the words of her son Ted.

And so what if the Unabomber's brother David Kaczynski and David's wife are complicated human beings who had emotions other than pure altruism in making their decision to turn Ted in? Struggling with honest human emotions is not a crime...
...reality is that Unabomber Ted Kaczynski killed three innocent people and wounded or maimed 23 more, to say nothing of the grief, pain and anguish those terrible acts brought to his victims, their families and friends.
