" … what they are doing is punishing this man (Theodore)
Kaczynski without due process of law. They are holding him up to
public hate, shame, ridicule and abuse, just like putting him (in)
the public stocks, without ever having tried him. That’s what I
find most offensive."
–Monroe Freedman, a legal ethics scholar at Hofstra University,
on Theodore Kaczynski, the alleged Unabomber
"He was quiet, immature, very bright in math and science. He was
just a whiz. But he was socially inept … he wasn’t interested in
girls, he didn’t play sports, he wasn’t much of a musician."
–Lorin De Young, who played trombone with Kaczynski in the high
school band
"Our hearts are with Ted. Our deep sympathies go out to the
victims and their families"
–the Kaczynski family
"We felt (a tip) would probably be our key all along. One of the
first things we did … was to put together the reward ($1 million)
and the reward poster and put out the 1-800 number."
–Don Davis, the No. 2 postal inspector in San Francisco and a
member of the San Francisco-based task force of agents from the
Federal Bureau of Intelligence, Treasury Department and Postal
Service formed two years ago to accelerate efforts to find the
bomber
"The Unabomber has been so reclusive that for him to come out
and actually reach out with something to whomever  maybe it
wasn’t the linchpin, but it gave us more … of an insight into the
individual."
–one source close to the task force, regarding the Unabomber’s
manifesto
