'Nobody knows anything" - that was how the famed Hollywood screenwriter William Goldman summed up his long career. That same lesson is now humbling Wall Street.

Goldman, of course, knew a lot. He won two Oscars, for "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "All the President's Men." He also had his share of turkeys: "Chaplin," "The Ghost and the Darkness." Yet at no point did he ever set out to write a bad movie - stuff happens, that's all.

I thought THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS was very good.

You are right. It was.

Impressive movie - a true story based on the book, "The Man Eaters of Tsavo..."
