...Stefani these days. He has a hard time getting people to come to union meetings--they say the neighborhood of the union hall is unsafe at night--but 30 years ago the meetings were jammed, while the union was coming into its own.

Like the rest of that heritage, it is dying. The souvenir shop of the famous Ryoanji temple in Kyoto sells boxes of tiny oblong sugar candies. The boxes are exquisitely plain, made of thin strips of unpainted pine. But touch one with a cigarette and it melts: the pine is, in fact, printed Styrofoam...
