   "Recall the lessons of Adam Smith, father of modern economics," says one of   
   Nash's cohorts. "Individual ambition serves the common good. Every man for   
   himself!"   
      
   In a flash of revelation, the brilliant Nash disagrees.   
      
   "Adam Smith needs revision," he says. "If we all go for the blonde, we block   
   each other. So then we go for her friends, but they will all give us the   
   cold shoulder because nobody likes to be second choice. But what if no one   
   goes for the blonde? We don't get in each other's way, and we don't insult   
   the other girls. That's the only way we win."   
      
   Suddenly more excited about economic theory than sexual opportunity, Nash   
   lapses into an intellectual reverie that summarizes his Nobel Prize-winning   
   dissertation. "Adam Smith said the best result comes from everyone in the   
   group doing what's best for himself. Incomplete! Incomplete! Because the   
   best result will come from everyone in the group doing what's best for   
   himself and the group. Adam Smith was wrong!"
