...almost out of his mind with frustration - call it hate. He sees his Government, with programs for blacks and for the indigent and programs for everyone except him, and he figures, 'God dammit, I'm paying for this out of my pocket.' He's got some bungalow in a development and a whole bookful of in stallment payments and he is mad as hell...
