Thought I must mention, when he was caught, I remember reading that 
the young Kaczynski (sp?) had been a baby with a 'happy, bubbly' 
personality, then he got sick with a bad virus and was quarantined 
alone for some length of time, after which his personality seemed to 
go 'flat.'  So said the article.  I had to mention that in light of 
the discussion of the critical period in early childhood when Tom 
Riddle was in an orphanage instead of nurtured.  (But maybe the virus 
and other factors also helped make T.K. into the Unabomber.)  I still 
wonder if this will tie in with TT and 'you can't hurt a baby' and 
the potential of young TR, somehow.
