...some farm work or finish the back nine. While Rucker, 29, and Felber, 28, are still single, Bryan, 28, and Sonefeld, 31, are both engaged, settling down. All four still live in Columbia, within walking distance of one another, in homes that are sizable but modest (Sonefeld's pad boasts a Foosball table--the perfect just-a-guy, have-a-beer, I-love-you-man touch). But don't let the downscale bonhomie deceive you; the band is a corporate money machine. Cracked Rear View cost around $200,000 to make and generated more than $100 million in gross revenues...
...from peripheral characters (Kato Kaelin, Faye Resnick). There are the tell-alls from major players who have little to say and mediocre co-writers (Madam Foreman, by several jurors, belongs here, as does O.J.'s own I Want to Tell You). There are the joke books (O.J.'s Legal Pad being one of the better entries in this category).

James came over, sat down with Susan and wrote down the various payments from the McDougals and Clintons on a yellow legal pad.

Before performing this exercise, James and Susan hadn't realized how large a discrepancy...
Thus armed, the next day Susan took the yellow pad, mustered her resolve and went to the Rose firm's office without an appointment. "Can I see Hillary," she said. Once ushered into Hillary's office, she dropped her perky cheerleader facade. "Look at these numbers," she said. "This is a list of our contributions, and this is a list of yours. I really don't understand your attitude given these numbers. If you don't give the bank the statement, they're going to call the loan." She still couldn't bring herself to admit that in that event...
...document and drop it off at the Twin City headquarters in North Little Rock, which Susan did. Then, soon after, Susan received a call from the Governor himself. "Would you mind," he began, "Hillary wants to look at the documents" to support Susan and James' calculations on the yellow pad. So Hillary didn't trust her, Susan thought. Well, she'd be only too happy to give her the documents. She had more files than the bank. She was sick of the paperwork and the responsibility. Let Hillary take it on if she was suddenly so concerned that Susan might...
