I think his extraordinary success is bizarre, too; so we are closer than I thought. Not that bizarre, really. An recent example from the business world was John Sculley, who took over after pushing Steve Jobs out of Apple in the mid-80s. For the longest time Sculley was heralded as the top executive in the country... cover on Time, all of that stuff. Only those really on the inside knew Sculley was a paper tiger and succeeded in spite of himself. Things came together and he was there... he got credit for everything. I believe there is some deep longing that some people have that someone is out there, larger than life, that can "protect" them from the randomness of events. So even when there is no hero, they create one.
