...bomber pecked out his 35,000 word opus, Industrial Society and Its Future. In straight-faced leaks over the next week, the agents let it be known that, alas, the typefaces did not match, although they had high hopes for a third typewriter, discovered later. What they did not mention was that nestled next to that third machine in Kaczynski's loft was something that made lesser discoveries moot: a manuscript of the manifesto itself...
Insiders say such problems--not to mention a pair of pending libel suits--led publisher Martin Peretz to ask for Sullivan's resignation at a meeting last Thursday morning. Peretz has declined to comment. In an interview with TIME, Sullivan insisted that his leaving was "absolutely my decision."

...ominous tones of the radio talk jocks broadcasting from their coastal outposts, I half expected bands of crazed militiamen to stop me at the border. After demanding a password (Justus), they'd search my car for treasonous articles: heavy-metal or rap tapes, condoms, crack, high school textbooks that mention evolution. Once I was checked through and free to go, the men would give a crisp salute before proceeding to open fire on an oncoming Volvo with California plates...
