James Ellroy's Crib Sheet

Real L.A. Noir. (Video/audio auto-plays). Los Angeles Times reporter Paul Lieberman has been chronicling the era of the LAPD Gangster Squad, a secret division of the department that tried to combat the mobs of Jack Dragna and Mickey Cohen in the 1940s and '50s. (Keep the cast of characters straight with this handy chart.)
No way. Jethro was in the Gangster Squad? Wow, wouldn't have expected that.
Granny, maybe. But Jethro?

Damn, I was hoping this post was announcing that the L.A. Noire (sic) videogame was finally out.

Also, someday I hope to be memorialized in a chart as an arrow marked "Embarrassed husband of."
