Jermaine Dupri, chart-topping R.- and-B. producer and hard-core rap star-in-the-making, still lives with his mother. The 25-year-old music man likes it that way; he likes to be self-contained, to have everything he wants, everything he needs, everything he cares about close at hand. For glory, the walls of his airy Atlanta home are lined with gold and platinum records--the hits he's written and produced for such performers as Mariah Carey, TLC and Usher. For recreation, nestled about the den, he has half-a-dozen arcade-style video games--including...

In Stillwater, Okla., Karl Oltmanns, 68, a volunteer civic-group treasurer, paid $43,000 out of pocket to settle a funds-mismanagement case after his organization inadvertently let its directors' insurance lapse. On the nightmare chart, such cases rival a date with Freddy Krueger...
...first got noticed in 1996 after he took a deposition from John Huang, the fund raiser embroiled in the Clinton money scandals.) Over the past year, his reach has grown considerably, in part because Judicial Watch received $550,000 in 1997 from Richard Mellon Scaife's Carthage Foundation (see chart). Scaife is the Clinton-hounding Pittsburgh billionaire who subsidizes Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif., the school where Starr planned to assume two deanships until complaints concerning a potential conflict of interest caused him to change his mind. Scaife also made close to $1 million in payments...
