Was the unabomber born at harvard

[Dawn Meredith]

Bernice - thank you for posting thse links to the June 2000 article.

David Guyatt and I had a long discussion about this many moons ago. Part of our exchange ended up online, but no longer seems to exist.

Theodore Kaczynski is a very bright man, and as such he was targeted and enrolled as a guinea pig in crude psychological experiments, conducted at Harvard, within what can crudely be described as behaviourist and eugenic frameworks.

It is unknowable quite what impact these experiments had on him.

However, I believe a fair case can be made that the Unabomber (note spelling) was born - in part - as a reaction to that abusive research.

A most interesting article. Somehow I doubt that we heard but a small part of Dr Murray's experimentation. Nothing in this article explains to me how someone could go on to kill, absent some predisposition.
