He went to Harvard at 16 on a full scholarship, but being so much younger than those around him, he had few friends in the college environment. This vulnerable young man was then processed through the CIA's new MK Ultra project and came out the other side as a serial bomber. I've always thought he was a very successful experiment. It was during the Cold War, imagine if you could make dozens of Russian Kaczynski's sending bombs from within their own country; would that be valuable to the CIA? If one day we discover the CIA knew Ted was the Unabomber all the way through his bombing campaign (and said nothing) I won't be shocked.
