An article in this month's issue of Atlantic Monthly tries to explain why Ted Kaczynski became the Unabomber. While at Harvard in the early Sixties, he unwittingly participated in a three-year research project on mind control, conducted by a professor who had links to the CIA and possibly had the aid of Timothy O'Leary's experimentation in mind altering drugs. He is not alone. We often are told of secret efforts by our government to remove the physical or mental self control of American citizens. So the Revolutionary War continues, in one form or another.
Freedom requires constant vigilance.
As we celebrate our 224th Fourth of July, let us be grateful to those who fought the first battles. And let us not forget that freedom requires that we join in the fray.
