From their first contact with the FBI, the family warned that Kaczynski had severe mental problems. And three months after his arrest on April 3, 1996, at his mountainside cabin outside Lincoln, Mont., family attorney Anthony Bisceglie cited Kaczynski's mental illness as a reason the government should not seek the death penalty. "In his correspondence, Ted projects his own feelings of anger, depression and powerlessness onto society at large--a society of which he has never really been a member," Bisceglie wrote lead prosecutor Robert Cleary. "He blames these ill effects on a wide variety of external factors, including...
Clinton gave Jiang a 20-minute White House tour to break the ice. The first stop was the Lincoln Bedroom, and Clinton pointed to a picture of Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation on the very spot where they were standing.

"I can't imagine anybody saying he's insane," says Becky Garland, 41, who befriended Kaczynski while working at Garland's Town & Country store in Lincoln.

...Helena, about 60 miles southeast of Lincoln, the psychiatrists met with Jack McCabe, owner of the Park Hotel, where Kaczynski stayed 31 times since 1980. "They wanted to know what he was like, if he caused any trouble," McCabe said afterward. "But Ted Kaczynski never bothered me any.
