...exaggerated version of the Boomers in Malcolm is a breakfast-food commercial gone psycho, a battle zone where there's always one less frozen waffle than child and where three brothers--a fourth's in military school--commit hilariously baroque mayhem on one another and the house: "Leave the squirrel alone and get the fire extinguisher!" we hear in one scene.

Through my work, I see these boys and young men in the courtroom and in prison with depressing regularity. Their lives start with abuse, neglect and emotional deprivation at home. Add the effects of racism, poverty, the drug and gang cultures...
