Dor gave me no work to do today. She spent most of the day on the computer herself, working on 2 items which she considered too difficult for Marquita and me. One was another litigation report. Butler has decided on another format which had to be worked, but in addition, the copy was difficult to work from. The other item was a tale of contents to the Venezuelan metro contract, which Galbraith wanted in an unusual and time-consuming format. Either of these items she could have shown us how to do, but Dor has a tendency not to delegate work.
Marquita did have an ATS job part of the time.
Dor told me Jim Cromin ___ who used to be responsible for the litigation report, was unhappy because it has been taken over by the legal department, who are having so much trouble establishing a suitable format.
I may buy a floor lamp and a half size mirror for the apartment and I got advice from others as to where I might get the former. At noon, after eating my lunch at my desk, I walked up Mission to 3rd Street, where Kate Walker thought there were some second-hand stores, but I found they had only office furniture. I was told, however of a lighting equipment store on Mission between 6th and 7th. Kate offered to help me bring a lamp home if I found what I wanted, as she has a car.
When I got home tonight, I washed and mended my dress. Started to the Temple for dinner and the Wednesday night meeting. I got a ride with Tom Partak, who had brought Chris Kice down to stay with Elsie Ross who is ill. When we arrived at the Temple, I found that almost everyone had left for the Democratic Rally at the Civic Center to watch the Ford-Carter formal political debate.
I was given a plate of macaroni salad, frankfurter and pudding, the first meal I have eaten as a communal member.

Tape of Jim’s sermon. I may not be good looking and I may not be intelligent businessman but I do know I am a worm in the honkeys’ ass. Time is coming when it won’t be safe to be black in this country. Minorities don’t last down through history. They are wiped out and left to die on the desert. (apparently given in LA).
