...often people write Jimmy off as a drunken rocker who sings about getting high and getting women all at the same time. Yes, he has songs like that, and I probably know all the lyrics to them, but happily you showed us the man who had these crazy experiences and then evolved to another level. Like many others, I have lived vicariously through Jimmy and his adventures, and now I am growing vicariously through him too. BRIAN COLLINS Columbus, Ohio...

...messed up some attorneys in the U.S. are [NATION, June 22]. I guess Klayman thinks he is a very tenacious lawyer, but anyone who is suing his mother for $40,000, which Klayman says is owed him for nursing care for his late grandmother, must be "off his rocker," as one critic claimed.

Earlier this year, the angry rocker turned Versace model and movie star showed up at the Ms. Foundation's 25th-anniversary bash at Caroline's Comedy Club in New York City.

...aggrandizing blast faxes to reporters--"Klayman looks to no one, other than God, for guidance and direction," a recent fax proclaimed--has won him his share of attention in Washington, some of it puzzled, some mocking.

But at least one of Klayman's early lines of pursuit has been picked up by independent counsel Kenneth Starr, a man who has faced, and faced down, more than a few complaints about his own investigative techniques.
