N2  - An inspiring book that proves the American dream is still very much alive. An immigrant teacher from Bolivia, Jaime Escalante achieved remarkable results with his students at Garfield High in East Los Angeles, a school riddled with gang violence. Even more fascinating than Stand and Deliver, the movie based on Escalante's story. www.alibris.com
