520 1  "John Meriwether, a famously successful Wall Street trader,
       spent the 1980s as a partner at Salomon Brothers, 
       establishing the best - and the brainiest - bond arbitrage
       group in the world. A mysterious and shy midwesterner, he 
       knitted together a group of Ph. D.-certified arbitrageurs 
       who rewarded him with filial devotion and fabulous 
       profits. Then, in 1991, in the wake of a scandal involving
       one of his traders, Meriwether abruptly resigned. For two 
       years, his fiercely loyal team - convinced that the chief 
       had been unfairly victimized - plotted their boss's 
       return. Then, in 1993, Meriwether made a historic offer. 
       He gathered together his former disciples and a handful of
       supereconomists from academia and proposed that they 
       become partners in a new hedge fund different from any 
       Wall Street had ever seen. And so Long-Term Capital 
       Management was born." "When Genius Failed is the 
       cautionary financial tale of our time, the saga of what 
       happened when an elite group of investors believed they 
       could actually deconstruct risk and use virtually 
       limitless leverage to create limitless wealth."--BOOK
