Whoever wants Unabomber memorabilia can bid for it at an online auction starting Wednesday.
The U.S. Marshal Service is auctioning off Kaczynski's personal effects, which are stored in Atlanta, including the Unabomber manifesto. Kaczynski, who called for a revolt against the "industrial-technological system," committed bombings from 1978 to 1995 that killed three and injured 23. He pleaded guilty in 1998 and was sentenced to life in prison.
Last August, a federal judge ordered the sale to compensate the victims. Bidding takes place at www.gsaauctions.gov and begins 10 a.m. Wednesday and ends June 2. STEVE VISSER

Former deputy U.S. attorney general Larry Thompson, also the former U.S. attorney in Atlanta, will join the University of Georgia School of Law this fall.
Thompson, who recently announced his retirement from PepsiCo as senior vice president and general counsel, will teach courses in the areas of corporate law and white collar crime. “To have someone with his experience and status on our faculty will benefit not only our students, but the law school and the university as a whole," UGA law school dean Rebecca Hanner White said.
