Plans
roamed
his
mind
as
he
lay
in
bed
gazing
up
at
the
ancient
light
fixture
in
the
ceiling
.
52
He
could
for
instance
slip
across
into
the
Rocky
Mountain
States
.
But
it
was
loosely
banded
to
the
PSA
,
and
might
extradite
him
.
What
about
the
South
?
His
body
recoiled
.
Ugh
.
Not
that
.
As
a
white
man
he
would
have
plenty
of
place
,
in
fact
more
than
he
had
here
in
the
PSA
.
But
he
did
not
want
that
kind
of
place
.
53
And
,
worse
,
the
South
had
a
cat
s
cradle
of
ties
,
economic
,
ideological
,
and
god
knew
what
,
with
the
Reich
.
And
Frank
Frink
was
a
Jew

His
original
name
was
Frank
Fink
.
He
had
been
born
on
the
East
Coast
,
in
New
York
,
and
in
1941
he
had
been
drafted
into
the
Army
of
the
United
States
of
America
,
right
after
the
collapse
of
Russia
.
After
the
Japs
had
taken
Hawaii
he
had
been
sent
to
the
West
Coast
.
When
the
war
ended
,
there
he
was
,
on
the
Japanese
side
of
the
settlement
line
.
And
here
he
was
today
,
fifteen
years
later
.
55
In
1947
,
on
Capitulation
Day
,
he
had
more
or
less
gone
berserk
.
Hating
the
Japs
as
he
did
,
he
had
vowed
revenge
;
he
had
buried
his
Service
weapons
ten
feet
underground
,
in
a
basement
,
well
-
wrapped
and
oiled
,
for
the
day
he
and
his
buddies
arose
.
However
,
time
was
the
great
healer
,
a
fact
he
had
not
taken
into
account
.
When
he
thought
of
the
idea
now
,
the
great
blood
bath
,
the
purging
of
the
pinocs
and
their
masters
,
he
felt
as
if
were
reviewing
one
of
those
stained
yearbooks
from
his
high
school
days
,
coming
upon
an
account
of
his
boyhood
aspirations
.
Frank
"
Goldfish
"
Fink
is
going
to
be
a
paleontologist
and
vows
to
marry
Norma
Prout
.
Norma
Prout
was
the
class
schones
Mädchen
,
and
he
really
had
vowed
to
marry
her
.
56
That
was
all
so
goddam
long
ago
,
like
listening
to
Fred
Allen
or
seeing
a
W
.
C
.
Fields
movie
.
Since
1947
he
had
probably
seen
or
talked
to
six
hundred
thousand
Japanese
,
and
the
desire
to
do
violence
to
any
or
all
of
them
had
simply
never
materialized
,
after
the
first
few
months
.
It
just
was
not
relevant
any
more
.
57
But
wait
.
There
was
one
,
a
Mr
.
Omuro
,
who
had
bought
control
of
a
great
area
of
rental
property
in
downtown
San
Francisco
,
and
who
for
a
time
had
been
Frank
s
landlord
.
There
was
a
bad
apple
,
he
thought
.
A
shark
who
had
never
made
repairs
,
had
partitioned
rooms
smaller
and
smaller
,
raised
rents
Omuro
had
gouged
the
poor
,
especially
the
nearly
destitute
jobless
ex
-
servicemen
during
the
depression
years
of
the
early
fifties
.
However
,
it
had
been
one
of
the
Japanese
trade
missions
which
had
cut
off
Omuro
s
head
for
his
profiteering
.
And
nowadays
such
a
violation
of
the
harsh
,
rigid
,
but
just
Japanese
civil
law
was
unheard
of
.
It
was
a
credit
to
the
incorruptibility
of
the
Jap
occupation
officials
,
especially
those
who
had
come
in
after
the
War
Cabinet
had
fallen
.

Recalling
the
rugged
,
stoic
honesty
of
the
Trade
Missions
,
Frink
felt
reassured
.
Even
Wyndam
-
Matson
would
be
waved
off
like
a
noisy
fly
.
W
-
M
Corporation
owner
or
not
.
At
least
,
so
he
hoped
.
I
guess
I
really
have
faith
in
this
Co
-
Prosperity
Pacific
Alliance
stuff
,
he
said
to
himself
.
Strange
.
Looking
back
to
the
early
days
it
had
seemed
such
an
obvious
fake
,
then
.
Empty
propaganda
.
But
now
59
He
rose
from
the
bed
and
unsteadily
made
his
way
to
the
bathroom
.
60
While
he
washed
and
shaved
,
he
listened
to
the
midday
news
on
the
radio
.
