- Just a clarification, especially for those who did not view this program.
- Chapman very clearly and directly stated that he did not blame his actions
- on a book. He even wrote a letter to the author (Salinger?) to apologize.
- He made it very clear that he took personal responsiblity for his acts and
- placed no blame or responsibilty on anything or anyone else.

- That was some comment that the author of the book (what a f**ked up title!)
- made about Chapman's motivation being that he wanted to hurt a lot of people.
- He'd also fantasized about getting hold of a nuclear weapon and setting it
- off in a major city.
