Removing annoying checkboxes in a List web part

When I add a List web part to a page, I'm left with a bunch of annoying check boxes in front of each item, as shown below:

To get rid of these, since they don't really serve any purpose on our public pages, I've added a content editor web part to the page with the following css code. Make sure you add the code using the source editor:

<style type="text/css">

TH.ms-vh-icon {

DISPLAY: none

}

.ms-vb-itmcbx {

DISPLAY: none

}

</style>

I then get a cleaner look to the listing with the check boxes removed from the page.
