"There's a difference between being very competitive and can-do, and
winning at all costs. All costs is costly."
-- Leon Wagner, chairman of GoldenTree Asset Management, a $6.5
billion money management firm, who joined Drexel Burnham Lambert's
high-yield trading desk in 1986 from Lehman Brothers. "Just to be able

Boesky and Perelman and Diller and Murdoch," he said referring to Ivan
Boesky, the arbitrageur; Mr. Perelman, of Revlon; Barry Diller, now
chairman of IAC/InterActiveCorp, and Rupert Murdoch of the News
Corporation.
