520    Wall Street has always been an insular culture that most 
       people only vaguely understand. The exception was Merrill 
       Lynch, a firm that revolutionized the stock market by 
       bringing Wall Street to Main Street. Merrill Lynch was not
       only "bullish on America," it was a big reason why so many
       average Americans were able to grow wealthy in the stock 
       market. Merrill Lynch was an icon. Its sudden collapse and
       sale to Bank of America was a shock. How and why did it 
       happen? And what does this story of greed, hubris, and 
       incompetence tell us about the culture of Wall Street that
       continues to this day even though it came close to 
       destroying the American economy? This is a Shakespearean 
       saga of three flawed masters, E. Stanley O'Neal, John 
       Thain, and Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis, who made a $50 
       billion commitment over a September weekend to buy a 
       business he really didn't understand.--From publisher 
       description.
