NBC Channel 7 in Boston has the scoop on Bishop’s time living in Ipswich, MA [7NEWS].
She often called the police to complain about “noise and kids in the neighborhood.” Bishop had been outspoken at the November 12 faculty senate meeting against a new university policy that would have required all freshmen and sophomores to live on campus [al.com]. And what does the faculty senate do? [UAH Faculty Senate]
(Here are details on some of the specific things that ticked Bishop off and what she and her husband tried to do about them [Boston Globe]. The general perception is that they ostracized themselves from the local community).
The Mercedes Paz in the Channel 7 report is likely the M.A. Paz who in the early 1990′s authored papers with Amy Bishop and Paul Gallop, Bishop’s dissertation advisor [UAH] [ProQuest snapshot].
The reporter interviews a woman named Sylvia Fluckiger, who is listed as a former colleague of Bishop’s. There is a person named R. Fluckiger on some of the Bishop-Gallop papers. Perhaps she used a different name back then or the author was her husband/relative? She mentions in the video that Jim Anderson, Bishop’s husband, was a “tinkerer” who could have made the pipe bombs mailed to murder Professor Paul Rosenberg. According to the Boston Globe’s story yesterday, “Anderson was questioned about whether he had purchased any of the components used to make the bombs” [Boston Globe]. In that story Fluckiger made the connection more overt, saying that “we knew she had a beef with Paul Rosenberg. And we really thought it was a really unbelievable coincidence that he would get those bombs.”
