No midlife crisis here-lots of friends, hordes of admirers, all, an adequate hero for a mediocre movie. But Mass Appealgives to this good ol' boys a bizarre twist; rather than spending his morning writing letters to constituents, as we might expect, Farley instead stands at the front of a church and leads a congregation in the Profession of Faith.

The article noted somewhat whimsically that Deaver's wife Carolyn had become an "overnight success" in the public relations field despite no previous experience, gaining clients like the Republican National Committee. A friend of Deaver's, it was also reported, had arranged for Deaver to make a $10,000 profit on a money-losing real estate...
