...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.

...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.

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. Those are his crimes, and the guilt and responsibility are his and his alone. KATY REMARK Zurich, Switzerland...
