Crime Family Report

If you wondered what the Chandler crime* family was up to now that they've nothing to do w/ the L.A. Times (We weren't either but here it is anyway.) at least one of them (Not much info about him on the Internet, but we're guessing this Otis is a grandson of the original Otis Chandler.) is making more money than you are. And all it took was some family money & the family name.

We can only assume that this goodreads operation is a plot of some gov't. agency or another to determine who is a reader (potential subversive) & what they are reading (proof of subversion, or, at best, non-conformity).

*"He was a member of the San Fernando Syndicate, a group of investors who bought land in the San Fernando Valley based on inside knowledge that the Los Angeles aqueduct would soon irrigate it. Otis used the LA Times to frighten citizens (with news stories of a false drought) to vote for a 1905 bond issue that funded the aqueduct."

Yup, Manichean paranoid & grifter:

Otis was known for his conservative political views, which were reflected in the paper. His home was one of three buildings that were targeted in the 1910 Los Angeles Times bombing. During his time as publisher of the Times Otis is known for coining the phrase "You are either with me, or against me."
