“True enough and, yes, a worthy success. But the signs of defeat are everywhere. Not even Eddie “El Piolí­n” Sotelo, the morning DJ credited with triumphantly generating the 500,000-plus turnout on March 25 in downtown L.A., could muster more than a few thousand people at the same spot for a march over the Labor Day weekend.
