Don't know, they started vetting people and sending them out of the building. I was sent out pretty fast since I was an employee and had a demonstrable audit trail as to which machine I was on when the emails were sent. I know they did ID who it was and he was subject to discipline from the school but not what the school did nor if he ever faced any criminal charges. The speed with which it happened, though, definitely meant whoever was dispatched was local. Being right in the middle of Boston makes that more plausible, I guess.
Ummon:
Yeah, I'd guess so. So he was lying though, right?

It seems that King pretty much jumped the shark with his writing in '99.

The main thing I am getting out of book 6 and 7 is that King is well aware of this fact. He is basically saying through his writing: "I'm lucky to be alive, and all you ---punks--- can talk about is that damn dark Tower series?? Fine I'll finish it, but it won't be anything special." The books he has written are without a doubt, completely different from what he would have written if that accident didn't happen.
The whole Walter scene seemed like a summary of the failure of the series to live up to the hype. I am enjoying this book more and more having realized what King is trying to say.
P.S. the breakers are pretty cool. I like what they turned out to be. Nice to know King also freely admits the first thing he would do with a Star Trek holo-deck. ;)
CCM:
I quit reading the Dark Tower during or after book 4, Wizard and Glass. I honestly can't remember if I finished the book. I just couldn't get through all of the Susan Delgado stuff...
My wife and brother read them all they claim book 5 was better, but I just completely lost interest.
They both agree that books 6 and 7 sucked.

Wizard and Glass is slow, but the overall story is awesome.
