Arthur Watson Hall, 5t Prospect Street, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, November 1995
David Gelernter, director of computer studies at Yale University and an advocate of the joining of
computer sciences with the humanities, was maimed when a packaged bomb exploded in his fifth floor
office in Watson Hall on June 24, 1993.
Since 1978, at least three people associated with advanced technology have been killed and twenty-three
others injured by bombs sent and placed by a person known as the Unabomber, whose writings express
a hatred of technology and fear of its global effects.
In April 1996, the FBI arrested Theodore Kaczynski at his isolated cabin in the mountains of Montana
with the belief that he was responsible for these crimes.
