Sparkle, the youngest (Irene Cara), is the most innocent, and perhaps the most talented. Under the tutelage of a good fellow...

Almost more important to the organizing drive than the gripes with pay-scales and promotion opportunities are the organizers' grievances about less tangible elements of the labor-management relationship.
