The ten big donors who bootlessly pledged up to $12 million include some familiar names, such as John Eddie Williams and Peter Angelos, as well as a new one, Calvin C.

Overlawyered: Deep Pockets File: Bauer v. Nesbitt
On September 3, 2003, 19-year-old Frederick Nesbitt was underaged at "Wing Night" at the C View Inn in Cape May, New Jersey, so the waitress at the bar only served him soda while his companions drank pitchers of beer.
