Unabomber Update

By Claudia Lynch, Benchmarks Editor ( lynch@unt.edu)

By now you have probably heard that the man who came to be known as "The Unabomber" because of his penchant of mailing bombs to university and airline personnel has more than likely been identified and is under arrest in Montana. In an irony the suspect may never appreciate, the Unabomber persona has sparked the imagination of many on the Internet. There is an on-line campaign to elect him President, run by the Unabomber Political Action Committee ( http://www.paranoia.com/~unapack/), there is a Unabomber theme song, "Official Unabomber" screen savers and more. You can keep up with the status of the Unabomber case and the net antics it has spawned from the TIME Unabomber Web page ( http://pathfinder.com/pathfinder/features unabomber/index.html).
