The wildcat strike of the workers at the local accentuates the flaws in each person's character, prompting old bonds to be severed and new ones to be cemented. At first glimpse, we think that young Tiao will be the hero of the plot; young, eager, hardworking, he makes plans to marry his girlfriend whom he has made pregnant.

Radio and the new Music Television are in sorry shape in all ways except financial, not only in terms of vitality but in terms of simple human qualities. Black artists have--save for a select few--virtually no access to the staple of F. M. Programming, the execrable A.O.R., or to M. T. V., a veritable case-study in segregation.
