...that made the contractors hated. Members of large families with only one car between them have been sent to widely separated fields. In some cases, workers say, U.F.W.A. dispatchers have played favorites. "Once I had to wait four hours last year before I could get dispatched," says Grape Picker Gloria Esquirrel, a former U.F.W.A. member. "The people who had put in time on the picket lines were sent out first." Since farm workers are generally paid by the hour (average wage: $2), such delays can result in serious financial loss...

The first night coincided with Gloria's 75th birthday, a statistic proved ridiculous when she appeared at the birthday party in a slinky blue and green diagonally striped gown.

Adams chose perfect tempi--a wonderfully slow Adagio to begin the work, a free-flowing Andante for the Christe, and a very lively Allegro vivace in the opening of the Gloria. He took the huge fugue, "in Gloria Dei Patris, Amen," at a breakneck speed which left the audience--and the singers--breathless at the intermission. The last movement, Agnus Dei, was extremely dramatic as the singers' supplications for "inward and outward peace" were interrupted by the trumpet calls of war.
