...Delay. One immediate issue dividing blacks and union leaders is the apprenticeship system, in which trainees undergo a four-or five-year learning period before being admitted as full-fledged journeymen. Blacks charge, with considerable justice, that the system is often used more as a barrier than as an entranceway. Only 4% of the apprentices in the union-regulated programs are black.

...oval acting arena into two parts. On one he built a platform to represent a villa porch, to which a row of suspended colored lanterns contributed much. Steps led down to the other part, which served as the garden.
