Long before there is a 'Unabomber', New Yorkers are terrorized over sixteen years by an attacker who plants bombs in major city landmarks from Grand Central to Radio City; subways, libraries phone booths, and restrooms. The bomber sends the Herald Tribune repeated warnings of his attacks and lays out his hatred of The Consolidated Edison Company. Profiling by a Criminal Psychologist is pioneered in the hunt and determined police work finally apprehends the Bomber. He turns out to be a electrician and mechanic named George Metesky with a grudge against his former employers. At trial the smiling Metesky is deemed criminally insane and committed to a state mental hospital. Metesky died aged 90 in 1994.
