CUSTOM CLOTHING -- Ruben Rodriquez, Homeboy Silkscreen manager, talks with Beto Lopez as he works a silkscreen press. The shop handles shirt orders for Pixar Studios, Power 106FM, and Catholic schools. The job, says Lopez, "makes me keep off the streets." Homeboy support has been crucial he says: "All that not giving up on me. After a while I think, maybe I do have a future." Adds Rodriguez: "When you start giving people opportunity and hope their sense of right and wrong improves."
