...name of the game, says the author is "What Is Everybody Else Doing?" For only when the player knows what the crowd is thinking can he stay ahead. Chartists, mathematicians, statisticians, computers and dart throwers all get a chance to show their stuff under his skeptical gaze. Drawing from Gustave le Bon's 1895 book The Crowd, he views the investing public as a highly volatile and irrational mass mind that usually overreacts and does the wrong thing. Yet Smith/Goodman is neither dogmatist nor snob, as evidenced by his parody of Kipling: "If you can keep your head when...

...said after the Super Bowl that he was "going to take a long, hard look" at himself, and Vince Lombardi, 54, has the most piercing gaze in the game. What he saw convinced him to step down as coach of the champion Green Bay Packers after a nine-year reign during which he drove a hapless, last-place club to a record of 97 victories, 31 losses, four ties, six conference titles, five National Football League championships, and two triumphs in the Super Bowl.
