...Diallo. Mention of the Chicago Police Department, despite the absence of recent major scandals, still evokes images of protesters brutalized and hosed down by rampaging police outside the 1968 Democratic convention. But no American police department has been as criticized - or feared - as that of Los Angeles. The LAPD hadn't even recovered from the stigma of its handling of the 1965 Watts riots when it created international headlines for the beating of Rodney King, which inspired a fresh set of riots in the early '90s. Now a new investigation into rampant corruption, law-bending and lawbreaking among...

Our platoon had lost only 9 out of 49, mostly due to injury or illness, and everyone who'd worked on themselves even a little was still around for the end. None of the portentous threats we'd heard all along, like the one about the drill sergeants axing some unsuspecting soul the day before graduation, were ever carried out, and our PT sluggards never lacked for second chances (or third or fourth or fifth ones) to clear the bar. Oh, the toothlessness...
