...plentiful but somehow lackadaisical, are all generated by the disappearance of several brothers who work down at the icehouse, where envelopes of white powder are frozen in the middle of each cake. Pressed to explain this, the plant manager says guilelessly: "There's no profit in ice. In dope, plenty." The hero, Bruce Lee, may be furious of fist, but he is decidedly slow on the uptake. He spends an extraordinary amount of time tracking down the archvillain. Finally, the two lock in combat on the villain's lawn. While they kick, chop and clobber each other...
...exciting. That memorable exception, though, surpasses anyone's wildest dreams -- the already famous color sequence (one of seven) titled "Lifestyles." Both the managing editor and the business manager of the book appear in this section, and the lifestyles they helped portray include dancing, drinking, playing chess while drinking, smoking dope, holding hands, passing-out-on-the-couch from drink (or possibly from the combined lifestyles of drink and dope), and making love.

That kid from Riverside who died last summer could just as easily been a girl: dope doesn't care. If it's a hotshot, you're going. Black people used to cut their skins and put bones in their noses. That was part of their culture even if it wasn't what white people approved of. In my mind, that cosmetology program is assimilation to white culture...
