...that was then either. I thought it was like heroin. I thought it was really bad. This chick who was a friend of his said, "Why don't you come up and smoke some?" So I went up there and started smoking it out of this Chinese opium pipe. We smoked it for a long time. Finally I climbed down...
...nonwhite members. In construction, Negroes make up about 35% of the laborers' union. Black membership is also high in the so-called "mud trades"-bricklaying, plastering, hod carrying-that white workers increasingly shun. There are few Negro electricians, sheet-metal workers, glaziers, plumbers or pipe fitters. Particularly in the South, there are still several hundred segregated all-Negro locals-in the machinists, carmen, railway clerks, paper mill workers and other unions...

He helps lay irrigation pipe, frets about his cattle and the weather, works on his memoirs and papers, entertains a few close friends, watches an occasional movie in a converted hangar at the ranch (he invariably falls asleep). Sundays, he usually goes to one of the churches around Johnson City-Baptist or Catholic or Lutheran, it hardly seems to matter, as though he were facing God as an equal and the intermediaries were supernumerary. He is fit and tanned, relaxed and happy...
