4 P.S. Yesterday on the street I was panhandled by a young man - 23 he told me - a young man with a very sensitive face. I gave him something and said - "Come on, lets walk and talk a little." He told me that he had walked all the night before - no money for a bed - zero weather. His eyes were hard - that and there was something - that curious dirtiness and rancousness? that comes of never changing your clothes - sleeping in them etc. So as we walked I asked him - "why don't you tie up with the reds?" He looked at me with suspicion and then decided I was OK but said he believed in individualism. "I'd rather be a lone wolf - even if I starve" he said. "I might beat the game yet."
Rugged individualism - you see. It will apparently be a long time before Americans can the down & outs - realize that individualism of that sort has only come to us, ?oling up over someone? else?. Page Jesus Christ.
