The Unabomber Never Grew Up

The Unabomber and I share several connections. Both of us hold PhDs, are of Eastern European descent, and attempted to escape the dismal modern world by fleeing to remote locations in western Montana — he after leaving academia, me just before entering it. We even indirectly communicated through a mutual friend, about an article on attorney’s fees that I wrote for the Duke Law Review, which he claimed to have found “interesting”. However, our connections stop there.
