Titans of the Seas: The Development and Operations
of Japanese and American Carrier Task Forces During
World War II. by James and William Belote.

Very very very very good. It was published in 1975 though, so
you'll only probably be able to see it at used book stores.

Sounds good.

Time to hit the bookstores again, though they are nice, I got Garfield books for 50c, and old Mad Magazines for $1.

"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."
