Yes, the real Black Monday was great drama and quite a puzzle, even now. My overriding memory was going shopping that night and buying a miniature TV to bring to work on Tuesday. If we were going to relive Oct 29, 1929... I wanted to see it!

TV that Monday night was wall to wall interviews with 1980s leveraged buyout types who lost much of their money that day. One billionaire was crying and begging for the President "to do something."
