...dangerous. "People want to get out of gangs, but they're afraid of getting whooped," says Enirque Quiroz, 20, a hard-core member of the Latin Kings in Chicago. Quiroz, a lumbering fellow who has been shot at 12 times, jailed five times, sliced in the elbow and the chin and had his hands broken with a bat, is exactly the kind of guy who makes getting out so problematic.

Like others his age, Finney endured the 60s, probably just barely, coming out of that decade a shell of the physical god he was in 1963. He is almost a different person from the Finney of 1963, who fit neatly into the role of Tom, the bronzed free spirit skipping about the fields...
