In the midst of such maneuverings, and the town's benumbing poverty (more than half the population qualifies for food stamps), it is not surprising that the East St. Louis schools are a disaster. "At least half the buildings are antiquated," says School Superintendent William Mason, who is also a Democratic precinct committeeman.

This poised, stylish cast shines quite as impressively as the quarry in the vault. ∙Richard Schickel
