Unlike the regular district attorneys who handle suspects aged 16 and over, prosecutors in Family Court have no investigative staff to follow through in collecting evidence. Getting witnesses to cooperate is a major problem. One of the ugliest open cases at the moment involves a twelve-year-old boy accused of stabbing an adult.

The eager, almost fanatical youngsters of Puerto Rico, where youth baseball has been uncorrupted by the small-time ambitions of fat Little League coaches, all hope to follow their idol, Roberto Clemente, with a pathetic fervor. Pathetic because, for all their talent, Puerto Ricans make it only if they are stars; white owners do not like many Puerto Rican bench jockeys...
