You pause and think, 'Well, they are my friends. They probably don't mean it,'" adds [Xavier Garcia], also 25. "We just accepted it as, 'This is what a football team is like.' But there was a lot of damaging going on. When they decided to film one another talking about their experiences, they took the first steps toward a much larger project that could rectify some of that damage - "Cultura Ijile," or "Cultural Identity." "Cultura" means "culture" in Spanish; "ijile" means "identity" in Yoruba, a west African dialect. "Our cultural roots are a direct result of Stoneham," says Garcia, who makes it clear that he enjoys living here.

Legislation that would allow foreign investors to sign contracts with Pemex in order to explore, distribute and refine oil falls short of what is needed. But given the taboo that surrounds anything related to Pemex and the fact that the president's party is in the minority, Calderon's move deserves ample credit.

Many had served in World War II and now, in the late 1950s, they were living the American dream and prospering.
