Groups of eight or ten men, young and old, may be sitting on the small patch of grass in front, waiting for another day to pass, thinking about a gallon of wine. And traveling east you may see a poster on the wall of a deserted building urging "Boycott, Baby, Boycott," or just "B---, Baby, B---." Now you're in Watts...
