Review title: Superb Investigative Journalism Product review: This engrossing history of the Los Angeles Police Department is well worth reading, not only as a study of what is good and bad about the development of modern American police methods, but as a detailed view of the history of Los Angeles. This is one non-fiction book that is hard to put down. A great read!My impression, contrary to some of the reviews posted here, is that Joe Domanick has focused on the facts and is not pursuing a political agenda. Much of what he says has been proven by recent events and makes sense in the light of the Rodney King case and its aftermath, as well as the O.J. case. His criticism is focused on the leadership and structure of the LAPD, rather than on characterizing individual officers as inherently bad. Ignore the right-wing screeds and give this book a try.

Review title: Glasses are great but Amazon shipping is the WORST for breakable items. Product review: I will NEVER ORDER ANOTHER breakable item from Amazon. Everything has to get sent back. These glasses were great but we had a broken one in each box. They must have total idiots in shipping department.

Review title: Scary and dangerous Product review: I used this product for years on my beard. No problems through January 2008 when I shaved my beard. In December 2008, I used it again on my sideburns... we're talking a 1 inch square area on each sideburn. Within minutes, I was suffering from a severe chemical burn. There was a huge blister on the skin under each sideburn that itched, burned, and oozed for several days. Aloe helped a little, but time was the only thing that solved the problem. It's been 3 days and I still itch. A note: as per their instructions, I did do a small test area before applying it. No problems with an area about a centimeter square. If you've got 1 hair to dye, I guess it's ok. Please check out other online reviews. This is dangerous!
