Nicknamed "Gator," because of his unwillingness to allow any potential deal to die, Gatorski was a "rail of a man who looked something like a retarded scarecrow. His crowning glory was an egregious pointy tuft of hair on the top of his head that made him look as if a flying squirrel had just used his cranium as a landing strip." (p. 115). Gator's persistence had become rather a legend on Wall Street, and, even though a potential client had said "no" many times, Gator always returned for one more try. The associates hated him for this quality, for it became their job to rewrite pitch books over and over, so that Gator could return with the same "deals" to the same potential clients over and over again, no matter how futile the exercise was.
