...Central Valley who, like the middle class all over the country, are feeling squeezed. Michael Archer, 42, drives a scrap truck for a rendering plant, while his wife Janie works as a waitress in a coffee shop.

Castillo on Miami Vice," he begins, and a few of the couple of hundred so-called wards, most of whom are in their teens and early 20s, start to applaud. As Edward James Olmos, award-winning actor and star of the film Stand and Deliver, walks down the aisle, some of the men reach out to shake his hand, while others stare stiffly ahead. Dressed casually in a black leather jacket and pleated pants, Olmos gazes...
