It started badly: when company officials refused Tucker's request that they read aloud the lyrics of Big Man with a Gun, a song by the alternative-rock group Nine Inch Nails (sample: "Maybe I'll put a hole in your head/ You know, just for the f---- of it"), Tucker angrily walked out of the meeting for a time. Bennett's direct-as-a-bullet charges ("Are you folks morally disabled?") were met by philosophizing and historical perspective ("Elvis...
