Lived in Chicago at the time
And it was eerie.
According to the Globe
According to the Globe article, this piece of trash likely got away with:
1978 - murdering an elderly client while working as a tax accountant. The charge was dropped due to a police procedural error.
1982 - Tylenol poisonings killing seven people, including a 12 year old.
2004 - Indicted on charges of aggravated rape, drugging a person with “intent to stupefy or overpower” for sexual intercourse, and four other charges. The victim later declined to go forward with the prosecution and trial
He seems nice.

Thank you
Thank you James Lewis
I can now die from a headache because I can't get the bottle open now, thanks to you.
Chlidproofing
Isn't the main reason for the difficult opening to keep little kids out? A little too much Tylenol could easily be fatal to a small child.
That was a side effect
That was a side effect.
But I am talking about a new bottle from the store. It used to be just 'unscrew'.. now its plastic around the cap, and you gotta take off the cap to remove the seal and cotton.
That was because of all of this miele.
I think you need a pair of
I think you need a pair of pointy scissors.
Wonder if they found any anthrax in there.
I'll take Unsolved Cases for $500, Alex.
Consider the vaccine metaphor.
Consider the vaccine metaphor for the anthrax scare.
A vaccine is something introduced into the body, which is itself not particularly harmful, but which causes the body to develop a strong immune response to a genuine threat.
Sending a few anthrax-contaminated letters through the mail to a few high-profile addressees, gained widespread attention, and caused widespread changes in the way that the U.S. Postal Service and many security-conscious companies and institutions handle mail.
The anthrax letters were not particularly harmful in the broad scheme of things, but they prompted changes that, arguably, make us all safer, or at least minimized the impact of a broader and more deadly infectious-agent-by-mail attack. Some would argue that these changes were overdue.
The anthrax letters were the "vaccine"; the changes to mail handling protocols were the "immune response" provoked by the "vaccine," and the "disease" that this "vaccine" protects against is a widespread infectious-agent-by-mail attack.
My money is on the anthrax attacks having been perpretrated by rogue intelligence agency people, thinking they were doing a good and necessary thing.
Except for the part where postal workers died
People were killed when they did routine cleaning of the machines with compressed air.
Consistent with the vaccine metaphor
I find it easy to picture a group of rogue intelligence agency types, confident that they’re the smartest people in the room, blandly, analytically saying to each other, “a couple of dead postal workers is a tiny price to pay for the overall benefit that this is going to achieve.”
more likely another deception in the Iraq "WMD" narrative
No benign motives there
First moves to invade Iraq were on September 11-12, 2001, with Rumsfeld memos and White House discussion. First anthrax was mailed end of September.
"White House sources" first said Iraq was a suspect as the source of the anthrax. Just as they attempted to make a connection between Iraq and Bin Laden.
Fits in with story that Iraq had mobile anthrax labs.
Related to the explanation of the "aluminum tubes" as nuclear centrifuge components rather than mortar barrels and the falsification of documents about Iraq buying uranium from Niger.
Those stories from Judith Miller in the NYT etc
They blamed one guy falsely, then the "real perpetrator" "killed himself" in the last months of the Bush administration.
I'd love to know where he was on June 21, 1996.
Because Karina Holmer's case is still unsolved.
The Cambridge Day
Article says he got out of jail in 1995 and two weeks later was living in East Cambridge.
The surveillance photo of one
The surveillance photo of one of the victims, with a man resembling Lewis in the background, is eerie. Ted Kaczynski was also a person of interest.

recommend reading the Cambridge Day story
his five year old daughter died from faulty sutures. That must have been devastating.
Story about him and Roger Nicholson is an "only in Cambridge" one
