Other Climaxes. The Bruins are almost as colorful off the ice as on. Sanderson, with a Playboy-style pad and an unbuttoned lip, plays the role of a freaked-out Joe Namath. "Scoring goals," he likes to say, "isn't the only climax in my life." Esposito festoons his locker with trinkets to ward off "evil spirits." Orr has become a prospective millionaire.

Several franchising chains took a clobbering, including International Industries' House of Pancakes, Joe Namath's Broadway Joe's and Minnie Pearl's Chicken System. So did computer software firms and rickety conglomerates. Flamboyant, fast-talking entrepreneurs toppled like dominoes. Among them was Bernard Cornfeld, the expatriate supersalesman who had built Investors Overseas Services into the largest mutual fund organization selling shares to foreigners.
