Between pages 82 and 83 of 'Revolutionary Suicide', there are several unnumbered pages of photos of the Newton family.
Now that I'm aware Huey Newton was probably on coke during the Buckley interview, I'm not so sure he's 9 fixed after all. There is a lot in the book that could be 8 (though I doubt One). But I still think SeTi in SiTe and Buckley's contrary.
Look carefully at the photos of him, and also of the two brothers, Melvin (the academic intellectual) and Sonny Boy (the street hustler). They were two major but diametrically opposed influences on Newton in his formative years.

Re: Gram the Grown Up #2
Newton tells how he began studying law in order to be a better criminal (mostly burglary) by knowing what did and didn't constitute evidence, etc. Thoughout college, he remained firmly ensconced in what we would now call the hood with his street 'family', paying for his room and books through petty criminality. True, he moved among the campus radicals but he still led a double life, being thoroughly devoted to his lumpen possee. The law for him was as much of a fighting tool as fists; he recounts with gusto his crimes and the times he defended himself in court or from going to court, winning against authority and the whites, aka the enemy. He seems to have been fueled by the sheer gusto of being a 'confrontational adversary' (8 L6) and I think that 8 should have a 7 wing because he was truly amoral in all things not concerning 'his people' and was so with relish.
So at this point I'd say sp/SX 6w5(5w4)-8w7(9w8)-3wX--though there is a strong case to be made for the 3 being second--with the Gluttony being on the gut and the head looking down into eternity, so 'to die for the people' and the integrity of the street corner casino.

Well, I mean it's not like he was a serial killer or anything but for instance, he made a practice of looting from cars at a hospital parking lot; that's the kind of thing Mafia codes forbid.
Also how was he so sure who owned the car?
