Michael Lewis Quotes

Under The Stress Of The Event, We Felt, Each Man's True Nature Was Revealed. The Impression We Had Of Each Candidate's Character Was As Direct And Compelling As The Color Of The Sky." He Had Had No Trouble Identifying Which Men Would Make Good Officers And Which Would Not. "We Were Quite Willing To Declare, 'This One Will Never Make It,' 'That Fellow Is Rather Mediocre,' Or 'He Will Be A Star.'" The Problem Came When He'd Tested His Predictions Against The Outcomes - How The Various Candidates Had Actually Performed In Officer Training. His Predictions Were Worthless. And Yet, Because It Was The Army And He Had A Job To Do, He Kept On Making Them; And Because He Was Danny, He Noted That He Still Felt Confident About Them.
