a letter to The New York Times promising to "desist from terrorism" if the Times or

The Washington Post published his manifesto, in which he argued that his bombings
were extreme but necessary in attracting attention to the erosion of human freedom
and dignity by modern technologies that require mass organization.[7] The FBI and
Attorney General Janet Reno pushed for the publication of the essay, which appeared
in The Washington Post in September 1995. Upon reading it, Kaczynski's brother,
David, recognized the prose style and reported his suspicions to the FBI. Kaczynski
was arrested in 1996, and—maintaining that he was sane—tried and failed to dismiss
his court-appointed lawyers because they wanted him to plead insanity to avoid the
death penalty. He pleaded guilty to all charges in 1998 and was sentenced to eight
consecutive life terms in prison without the possibility of parole.

Early life
"Scarface", was an American gangster and businessman who attained notoriety during
the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit. His seven-
year reign as a crime boss ended when he went to prison at the age of 33.

Capone was born in New York City in 1899 to Italian immigrants. He joined the Five
Points Gang as a teenager and became a bouncer in organized crime premises such as
brothels. In his early twenties, Capone moved to Chicago and became a bodyguard and
trusted factotum for Johnny Torrio, head of a criminal syndicate that illegally
supplied alcohol—the forerunner of the Outfit—and was politically protected through
the Unione Siciliana. A conflict with the North Side Gang was instrumental in
Capone's rise and fall. Torrio went into retirement after North Side gunmen almost
killed him, handing control to Capone. Capone expanded the bootlegging business
through increasingly violent means, but his mutually profitable relationships with
Mayor William Hale Thompson and the Chicago Police Department meant he seemed safe
from law enforcement.

Capone apparently reveled in attention, such as the cheers from spectators when he
appeared at baseball games. He made donations to various charities and was viewed
by many as a "modern-day Robin Hood".[2] However, the Saint Valentine's Day
Massacre, in which seven gang rivals were murdered in broad daylight, damaged the
public image of Chicago and Capone, leading influential citizens to demand
government action and newspapers to dub Capone "Public Enemy No.1".

Federal authorities became intent on jailing Capone and charged him with twenty-two
counts of tax evasion. He was convicted of five counts in 1931. During a highly
publicized case, the judge admitted as evidence Capone's admissions of his income
and unpaid taxes, made during prior (and ultimately abortive) negotiations to pay
the government taxes he owed. He was convicted and sentenced to eleven years in
federal prison. After conviction, he replaced his defense team with experts in tax
law, and his grounds for appeal were strengthened by a Supreme Court ruling, but
his appeal ultimately failed. Capone showed signs of neurosyphilis early in his
sentence and became increasingly debilitated before being re
