He is 6 ft. 4 in. and weighs 230 Ibs. To the black men, his florid face has many colors, and his nose is big enough, by his own boast, to "smell the whole world with." Henderson is also a psychological mess. His quest is for knowledge of Grun tu molani (the way to live). What he carries with him is the doom of self-doubt. "Well, Your...
