When I was a young man and attending Connely Skill Center as I was waiting for a bus or trolley home you often ran across some colorful characters . The Tall Thin white guy with signs he carried saying he was Black Balled by US Steel and could not get work. The guy with no legs who sold pencils ,the pretzel guy and others all of whom have passed on over the years,.
But one of the most memorable guys was Robert R. Lansberry who carried signs that said " why cant Lansberry get mail "
He claimed the CIA was trying to control his mind and where censoring his mail and why he was not getting any. and he picked on congressman Coyne about it often with profane language signs
Now he was not your ordinary mentally ill kook.
He was at one time a highly educated man owned a grocery store and worked for IBM and Westinghouse and who fell into mental illness.
But with a twist yes some one was monitoring his mail and possibly trying to control his mind read his fascinating story in the link below
