520    Takeovers, mergers, and other kinds of business 'deals' 
       became popular in the late 1800s, when corporations 
       including Nabisco, US Steel, and International Harvester 
       were born. Merger fever was especially intense during the 
       1920s, as railroads, banks, utilities, and automakers were
       restructured. Decades of sluggishness followed the 1929 
       market crash. Bank mergers picked up during the 1950s, 
       followed the conglomerates of the 'go-go years' during the
       1960s. The 1980s was the decade of the leveraged buy-out 
       (LBO) as American corporations once again adjusted to new 
       business realities. In this presentation we focus on the 
       stories of US Steel, Getty Oil and RJR Nabisco, where 
       human nature plays itself out in high-stakes contests 
       involving executives, investment bankers, lawyers, and 
       other financial advisors. The development of America's 
       banking and brokerage industries is a story of great and 
       colorful figures such as Alexander Hamilton, Robert Morris,
       Nicholas Biddle, Jay Cooke, J.P. Morgan, Walter Wriston, 
       Stanford Weill, and Charles Schwab. Pioneers such as A.P. 
       Giannini and Charles E. Merrill spearheaded the 
       'democratization" of their industries, making banking and 
       brokerage services available to ordinary people. The 
       scandals following the stock market crash of 1929 led to 
       the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, which erected a legal 
       barrier between the banking and securities businesses- but
       innovation and technology in the late 20th century have 
       eroded this barrier, so that new opportunities and 
       products abound.
