A New York Times Book Review Notable Book

Since the 1960s, ideas developed during the civil rights movement have been astonishingly successful in the fight against overt discrimination. But can they combat the whole spectrum of social injustice---including conditions that aren't directly caused by bigotry? In Rights Gone Wrong, Richard Thompson Ford argues that extremists on both sides of the political divide have hijacked civil rights for personal advantage, diverting our attention from serious social injustices. Is equality really served by endless litigating and legislating against every grievance or slight? Brilliantly argued, shrewd, and lively, Rights Gone Wrong offers "a crisp analysis of the limits of our civil rights laws and a prescription for how to move beyond them" (Kirkus Reviews).

Nice Shirt, Excellent Color, Decent Fit
Size: 15"-15.5" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: Black
This shirt is a good looking shirt. Color is excellent. I got the 15-15 1/2 34x35 which I'd say fit in the 'classic' style (not slim) and was more like a 15 1/2 34x35. This is typical of a 'classic' fit shirt and is not a flaw. Color looks great. Nice solid black with seams well sewn. No loose threads. I've worn Van Heusen's for years, and this shirt lives up to the quality / fit that I'm accustomed to. If you're looking for a great shirt, this is an excellent option

Needs to be ironed
Size: 16"-16.5" Neck 32"-33" Sleeve, Color: Grey Mist
It doesn’t come with wash/dry instructions. I washed in warm water and dried on normal setting. Came out horrible with many wrinkles. Looked up instructions and it says cool wash and 10 minutes of drying. It will for sure need to be ironed. Otherwise a very nice shirt.
