...a brief, comparative look at other areas of incremental change in Jewish law-even if only through "shadow cases" of more politicized or controversial topics-could have solidified the core argument.

Under the leadership of Vassar professor Hallie Flanagan, the FTP launched regional theaters and companies across the country, employed thousands of actors and other stage professionals who otherwise ...would have had no access to stage work, and inspired writers to create innovative, even politically radical entertainments that often cut to the heart of what it meant to be a citizen of the United States. The author documents how officials of the FTP, all White, constantly made assumptions about the limited capacity for Black actors to play anything but jungle roles or folk characters little removed from minstrel show stereotypes.
The extent to which agri'al diversification in Barbados has been achieved since WWII is examined, & the problems facing a diversification program are discussed. The changing relative position of ...sugar & minor crops in the period is shown through data on land use, production, total food expenditure & food imports & contributions to Gross Domestic Product. These show that little or no success has been achieved in the diversification program. The reasons for the lack of success are examined. Sugar is fairly intensive in the use of land, a scarce resource in the island. Technological developments have improved yields & reduced production risks. Sugar thrives well in the island & shallow soils & low rainfall which would hinder most other crops do not have a signif adverse effect on the econ's of the crop. The Commonwealth Sugar Agreement has provided guaranteed markets & remunerative prices. On the other hand, the alternative agri'al enterprises which have been pursued are very demanding on such scarce resources as manag, agri'al knowledge & skills, & water supply. These enterprises face high production & market risks & are provided with inadequate res & exp'tion. Diversification efforts have been concentrated on small farms & these are too small to provide adequate fam incomes; hence small farmers tend to prefer sugar-cane cultivation, which takes little of their time & which allows them to carry on non-agri'al occup's. In spite of these problems, diversification must be pursued. The UK's desire to join the European Econ Community has made continuation of the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement uncertain. Hence the need for diversification has now become great. The total effort should be larger & it needs better planning. Planning should attend to such problems as acreage targets for sugar-cane & other crops, areas suitable for new crops, the econ's of water utilization on new crops & non-agri'al uses, suitable farming systems for diff parts of the island, & the relative suitability of the large & small farms for the diversification program.
