...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...

In the online magazine Slate, Jacob Weisberg declares that "Klayman is off his rocker." 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. Last week Harold Ickes, the former White House deputy chief of staff...
