Like everything else, Trinidad’s carnival is getting organized. It has a long way to go, for sure, to look like Macy’s Parade or a mobile Disneyland, but my advice is: Come and see it in the Seventies. At the present rate of decline it should be another nine years before the floats have Caterpillar treads, the steel band is piped in by Muzak, the jump-ups are computerized to avoid the traffic signals, and Dr. Williams (lest he be outflanked by American Imperialism’s latest export) makes Black Power the sole, mandatory theme.
