Title: Read the first 300 pages Review: The first half of this book is an interesting history of California labor and radical politics - stuff they don't teach in school, but as the timeline moves towards WWII the book degenerates into a rant about the California Communist Party. The author has a passionate distate for Harry Bridges that colors much of the subsequent discussion. I also have to say that some of the "facts" presented are tenuous, especially for a journalist. Information about Oppenheimer is controversial at best, and he seems to use some facts out of context to advance the vehement anti-CP line.I should note that I read this book in Paris which made me laugh out loud about some the claims the author makes about the importance of California radicals on world politics and intellectual history. In the end, I wish this was a 300 page book stripped of most of the author's more outrageous opinions and presented as a good history that is seldom read. Answer:
No

The imagination displayed in the book is wonderful, the rhymes are hilarious (and inventive), and the story brings back my own "show and tell" days, vividly! I'm already picking up extra copies as holiday gifts for friends and their kids! Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Well, it sounded good Review: I bought a new 'open box' enclosure at an auction site. It did not work when received and I have tried different (working) drives, spare patch cables, and have wiggled all the connections... There website has been out of service for five days now, their 24 - 48 hour 'normal responce time' to an emailed request for technical service is unanswered after five days, when I call their phone number as printed on the box and as listed in their auto-responce email, I get the phone company recording 'This number is no longer in service or has been disconnected, and when I try a search for their company in San Diego (the address on the box), I get no hits... So, I figure their support is non-existent, and I really wonder if the company exists, too. Answer:
No
