...lucked out--I think I've hit the perfect combination of a serious job and a low-pressure (not to mention money-making) one at Barnes and Noble. Although my only day off is Sunday, I usually find ample time to hang out with friends, play a round of golf or even head to a Yankees game...
Atkinson is a former marine, and the well-groomed north side of Phoenix was too quiet for him. Three years ago, he asked for a transfer to Maryvale, where the action is. No white-haired Sansabelts in golf carts here. Drugs rule; gang bangers shoot each other out of boredom; and third-generation Mexican Americans join Anglos in grumbling about the illegals who pour across the border four hours to the south and come here to live, 10 and 20 to a house...

Joe and Jan O'Neill (she was also nearing 40) were there as well. The men made for the links--"George plays golf like it was soccer," says O'Neill, "chasing after the ball and trying to hit it again before it stops rolling"--and everyone went to chapel at the Air Force Academy. One night Neil Bush came in from Denver for dinner, and the friends stayed up late, laughing and drinking...
