...there is no real consensus in the barrio. The forces for assimilation are powerful. A young Tucson militant, Salomon Baldenegro, contends: "Our values are just like any Manhattan executive's, but we have a ceiling on our social mobility."

...Altman and George Blakely Rogers married recently in Boston, they accepted the offer of an old friend to be their "paraclete," or special adviser and supporter of their union. Half a dozen lines were written into the Unitarian ceremony, formally requesting the friend to accept his uncommon role. "Many young people no longer look to their parents for assistance and advice," explains China. "To do so is often too emotionally complicated. We look instead to our best friends.
