You never knew what was going to happen the Freedom Houses from one minute to the next ... I slept on the cot ... on a kind of side porch ... and ... I'd drag in some nights and there'd ... be a wild party raging on the porch. So I'd drag my cot off in search of a quiet corner ... to find an intense philosophical discussion going on in one corner ... people making peanut butter sandwiches-always peanut butter ... in another ... some soap opera ... romantic entanglement being played out in another ... It was real three-ring circus
