Try being Alec Baldwin, head of the Creative Coalition, balled up on a bus for a three-hour predawn ride from New York to Massachusetts to collect signatures for state-campaign-finance reform. The coffee's awful, and his cell phone doesn't work. "We should have a working phone, even if you have to FedEx one," the actor growls as he tosses the offending cellular to an aide. Maybe...
