...belong," he says. "If a guy on the street is being brutalized by a police officer, that should be my concern. It's the whole goddamned thing of 'don't get involved.' " By getting involved, Ditto is molding powerless people into a significant force. Despite the reservations of many whites, the East Side clergymen and the blue-chip board of New Detroit are betting it will be a force for good. Says Baldwin: "We are nobodies.

A major concern is the symphonies' lucrative recording agreements, which may be endangered by the contract signed in April with the American Federation of Musicians. The new rules, affecting length of sessions and overtime pay, will make recording in the U.S. at least 20% more expensive, and thus may force record companies to sign up more orchestras abroad, where labor costs are lower...
