...until the search of Kaczynski's cabin, federal authorities were not totally sure that the Lincoln hermit was their man. No one had ever seen Kaczynski mail a bomb. Several clues the Unabom task force has long held in hand are not foolproof. The few fingerprints recovered from the Unabomber's efforts, say investigators, are missing the central whorls; even if Kaczynski's matched, a jury might not be persuaded. Unknown to many, the bombs had yielded bits of hair and fiber, but the cops could not be sure they were the perpetrator's. Nor were they sure they...
...defused it. Its structural peculiarities, experts said, were exactly those of the Unabomber bombs. The searchers also discovered a piece of paper with the words "hit list" written above "airline industry," "computer industry" and "geneticists." Evidence from the cabin was so strong, federal officials said, that it might convict Kaczynski without having to match his whereabouts with the bomber's at the time of the crimes...
...that had begun to seem a good thing. Government investigators believe Kaczynski took buses from Lincoln to Helena to Butte, Montana, where he could have connected to Salt Lake City, Utah--the origin of several of the bomber's 1980s strikes--or to Sacramento, California, and the San Francisco Bay Area, from which four 1990s bombs were sent. But pinpointing his presence in those destinations was tougher. Despite his family's statements that Kaczynski lived in Salt Lake City in the early 1970s, checks with motels and blood banks have failed to turn up any record of him there...

That was their name for a wild-haired, ripe-smelling man who, for a few years until 1994, had shown up regularly in the spring and browsed through science books without buying. But a hotel clerk who told the press that Kaczynski had boarded at his establishment at the same times was less sure of himself when talking to investigators. A federal agent in California was heard to sigh, "I sure wouldn't want to prosecute...
...into the fire and burned herself. Mather cried, "Alas, for my sins the just God throws my child into the fire!" The child was a moral adjunct mingling with the Puritan's internal devils. With equal unrealism, some American parents today envision their children as geniuses or angels. Wanda Kaczynski, of course, represented the style of an older generation of parents, but her child rearing bore traces of the obsessive. Later American parents sometimes have a tendency to practice a retro-projection that amounts to a search for their own lost, sweet, brilliant, childish selves. They indulge in a manic...
