		Guaranty had presumably expired." On the basis of this rationale—waiver by course of conduct—the court concluded at least implicitly that as a matter of law the guaranty had expired on the third anniversary of the commencement date, thus rendering nugatory Madison's claim against the Millers.
		Rather, Madison's position is that Bentley's repeated defaults (not a default) should have a specific consequence for the Millers: the one for which the parties to the guaranty bargained, i.e., the continuation of the guaranty beyond the third anniversary of its commencement date.
		Madison need not conjure the assistance of any mythical creature to prevail; it needs only to invoke the mundane principle that contracts are to be interpreted and enforced according to their terms.

		Prior to arriving at Madison Guaranty, Clark visited the FHLB field office in Little Rock to review previous examination reports, including the supervisory agreement under which the thrift had been operating since 1984, and to meet with Steve Parr, the field office supervisor who scheduled and coordinated examinations in that geographical area.

	What Jean Lewis Knows [Free Republic]
		Madison Guaranty had failed several years earlier at a far lower cost to the taxpayers -- approximately $60 million -- than Savers Savings, First Federal and the other top priority institutions.
		Moreover, Madison Guaranty had been the subject of an extensive federal criminal investigation in 1989-90 that had resulted in the 1990 trial and acquittal of James McDougal, the investigation's principal target.
		In light of these factors, Lewis and the FBI agreed that further investigation of Madison Guaranty should be made a low priority, and Lewis scheduled the RTC's investigation of Madison for the final quarter of 1992.

		The Special Committee found no evidence that Madison Guaranty's retention of the Rose Law Firm was a scheme for McDougal to confer a financial benefit on the Clintons.
		Although the Special Committee did not investigate the effect this delay had on the losses associated with Madison Guaranty, it is likely that those losses would have been reduced if the federal authorities had heeded Schaffer's recommendation and closed the institution in 1987.
		The evidence collected by the Special Committee indicates that Madison Guaranty needed legal counsel on these two relatively routine legal issues that related to the development of the IDC property.

		Federal investigators found evidence that Jim McDougal diverted money from his failing savings and loan, Madison Guaranty, to several of his real estate ventures, including Whitewater.
		Madison was seized by the government in 1989 in a $60 million bailout, and investigators questioned whether the savings and loan got favorable regulatory treatment when Clinton was governor.
