Others felt the same disappointment. Civil-rights workers in Greenville, who swam in the lake, drank Dr. Pepper from the bottle and wore dungarees--they too had heard about Carter and had read the Delta Democrat-Times; then they came to town and saw the big house. "Fat cat," they chanted...

At times he has a single eye that seems to see too much, at other times even three cannot focus on reality. But, insists Antes, "I am trying to make man perfect again, attempting to take him again into the center, rediscovering...
