Maloney's close encounter occurred the year before the bombing. In the spring of 1994 he ran an ad offering to sell a piece of property in the Ozark mountains of Missouri. "In the middle of nowhere," it read, "at the end of a rough road, at the bottom of a hollow...there may be a cave." When Maloney got a phone inquiry soon after, he asked if the caller's name was spelled "M-C-V-E-Y." "That's close enough," came the answer. In the fall of the same year, three men drove up to Maloney...
...rockabilly years. Five years later, she was starring in Always, and transcending the kitsch format (a fan recalling her brushes with Patsy's greatness) by interpreting 18 Cline songs faithfully and imaginatively; she'd slow down the tempo, tease out the vowel sounds even further, add an Ozark twang that you won't hear on Patsy's records. Now an ancient 20, Barnett has her own, self-titled CD (Asylum). It stands as both a votive offering to her idol and a discreet declaration of independence...

After eight months there's no smoking gun, no smoking anything, just a simmering stew of subdivided Ozark property without sewer lines and endless minutiae about closing costs and mortgage points. No one knows the protagonists--imagine trying to cast the pudgy David Hale, a confessed felon and owner of a failed burial insurance company. The best visual from the first Whitewater trial is already gone: the Trekkie alternate...
...days later, 1st Ozark agreed to waive requiring the Clintons' and Whitewater's financial-disclosure forms, according to a document in 1st Ozark's files, "Request for Loan Documentation Waiver," dated July 15, 1988. Over the words approved by are the initials WS, evidently referring to Wes Strange. According to the document, reasons for the waiver were that the escrow account was making the payments, and the value of the collateral was "sufficient." Still, waiving such a requirement was highly irregular, especially on a commercial loan, and Vernon Dewey felt it was imprudent to do so. For the first time...
