On the Capitol building's west front this week, two dozen workers beganto shape 1,400 sheets of plywood and 75,000 boardfeetof lumber into the platform on which Clinton will take the oath of office. The platform's $360,000 cost is being paid out of the $950,000 of taxpayersfundsthat Congressallocated for the presi dent's swearing in and VIP luncheon at the Capitol. Workersat the opposite end of Pennsylvania Avenue cordoned off sidewalksin front of the White House and began building review- ing stands for the parade, Anti- terrorist barricades that, since last year, have blocked traffic from the two-block section of a spokesman for the Secret Service, made clear that despite city and congressional critics of the temporary. black menvotedin 1996 than in 1992, while 300,000 fewer black womenvoted this year. Theexit polls showed that blacks increased their turnout from 8 percent of the total vote in 1992 to.10 percent in 1996. Black men, according to the polls, constituted 3 percent of the total vote in 1992, but 5 percent this year, according to the Joint Center anal- ysis. The higher percentages of blacks came partly because of a total vote decline of 11 percent. But there were about 1.4 million more African Americans whovotedin this election than in 1992, according to the Joint Center's study. Gans is not readyto declare that the Million Man March boosted higher turnout among black men. ‘It's too early to draw the conclusion,” he said The Joint Center, too, was reluctant to drawthe conclusion. “While some observers ascribe this development to the consciousness-raising aspects of last year's Million Man March, clearly, further research is needed to explain fully what motivated the black male voters,” said Joint Center president Eddie Williams. But what else would have provoked this crosscurrent trend? Certainly not a presidential campaign that, except for Jack Kemp's modest attempts to reach out to blacks from the Republican Party, largelyignored inner cities, where many black men UseSE reside, ‘The avenueis ington-area students: and theLit- tle Rock, Ark., ImmanuelBaptist Church Sanctuary Choir, of which Clinton has been a member since 1980, when he was Arkansas gov- ernor.
