He received his Bachelor Of Arts degree from Yale University in 1976 , and his Ph.D. from the State University Of New York At Stony Brook in 1982 .

In 1993 , he was critically injured opening a Mailbomb sent by Theodore Kaczynski , who at that time was an unidentified but violent opponent of technological progress, dubbed by the press as "the Unabomber."
