   No. 7 Divinity Avenue is a modern multi-story academic building today,
   housing the university's Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology.
   In 1959 a comfortable old house stood on the site. Known as the Annex,
   it served as a laboratory in which staff members of the Department of
   Social Relations conducted research on human subjects. There, from the
   fall of 1959 through the spring of 1962, Harvard psychologists, led by
   Henry A. Murray, conducted a disturbing and what would now be seen as
   ethically indefensible experiment on twenty-two undergraduates. To
   preserve the anonymity of these student guinea pigs, experimenters
   referred to individuals by code name only. One of these students, whom
   they dubbed "Lawful," was Theodore John Kaczynski, who would one day
   be known as the Unabomber, and who would later mail or deliver sixteen
   package bombs to scientists, academicians, and others over seventeen
   years, killing three people and injuring twenty-three.

Es fällt auf, wieviele Harvard-Absolventen der 50er dem Glauben an
eine Weltregierung, zumindest zeitweise, anhingen.  Kaczynski fällt
'nur' soweit aus dem Rahmen, das sein späteres Ausflippen Tote
verursachte.
