...elements are still here," says Ted Watkins, founder-chairman of the Watts Labor Community Action Committee. "The only part [fortunately] missing is the ability of the disenfranchised and the disgusted to mobilize to do what was done in 1965." Watkins' WLCAC operates a dozen businesses and the food-stamp concession. He and other community leaders attribute the continuing troubles partly to federal budget cutbacks, which have eliminated job-training programs.

The audit also aims to stamp out the use of nonsecure items such as birthdays, social security numbers, and last names as passwords...
