Only the winners are remembered and reported. Likewise is the world of "famous" fortune tellers.

  But as far as I can tell, there were more junk bond successes than failures. But I admit, when Michael Milken was arrested, it all came tumbling down for Drexel, and I can't remember any book saying exactly who failed with Milken's attentions. So yeah, I think you're right, and even books can dodge the truth.

    "Den of Thieves" by James B. Stewart covers the Milken, DBL and Boesky years. It's a decent read--I just finished it about a month ago.
