	"I predict it will be discovered that something in tylenol's
	manufacturing process added the cyanide, or somehow caused it
	to be generated while in capsule.  That is, it was not put
	there by a person with malicious intent."

Poisoned capsules were found in an A&P and a Woolworth's a few blocks
apart.  The two bottles were manufactured in different plants, sent to
different warehouses, distributed through two corporate distribution
systems, and yet ended up in the same neighborhood.

This strongly suggests that the poison was added after the products
were distributed to the stores.
