quote [ Theodore “Ted” Kaczynski, the Harvard-educated mathematician who retreated to a dingy shack in the Montana wilderness and ran a 17-year bombing campaign that killed three people and injured 23 others, died Saturday. He was 81. A spokesperson for a spokesperson for the federal Bureau of Prisons, tells The Associated Press that the man branded the “Unabomber” by the FBI died at the federal prison medical center in Butner, North Carolina. ]
I was thinking the other day that he must be getting up there.

I once saw, on the sidewalk of MIT, a sculpture named: the Unabomber's Cabin. It was a great contraption inside a plywood shell of the cabin (which, incidentally, is a beautifully proportioned structure) that was mounted on a wheeled cart. Inside was a table and a typewriter and a continuous roll of paper. You were invited to type something, so I did (something inane). Then, if you bothered to look, you could see a bike chain connected to typeroller (platin) that went through the floor. And if you went back outside, you could see the chain connected to a large gear that turned an axle of the trailer. Words can move the world.
