A very interesting memoir. I am only part way through it, where he changed schools to Holy Cross in 1968. It is hard to understand just how miserable things were down there.
I also read a bio of Rice a while ago. I admire them twice as much for their iron self control. I couldn't done anything like that.
All those people who mocked Thomas years ago, I disdain them twice as much now. He had a really long hard slog to get where he was. I just got to the part where he is in college, furiously angry with the racism that he grew up with.
