evidence: It seemed that, for all his indifference to student leftism, Kaczynski despised the status quo. He and David, who graduated from Columbia in 1970, bought 1.4 acres together in Montana, in high country just west of the Continental Divide. And that was where Ted lived—except for a few forays into the outside world to earn money at menial jobs and, later, to deliver bombs—for the next twenty-five years. He built a simple, ten-foot-by-twelve-foot cabin with two small windows, a woodstove, no electricity, no plumbing. He grew a garden, built a root cellar, hunted rabbits and deer, exchanged vegetables with neighbors, didn’t file a federal tax return. He rode an old bicycle five miles into the town of Lincoln for supplies, and spent a lot of time at the public library there. His parents visited him each summer for the first few years. David came several times, and then, emulating Ted, moved to his own patch of remote wilderness, in the west Texas desert. But Ted’s relations with his family became increasingly strained. In voluminous letters, he blamed them—particularly his mother, Wanda—for his shyness, his loneliness, his anxiety, his anger, even his height (he was shorter than David). Their visits ceased.
