One of the first black students to integrate Atlanta's West Fulton High School, O'Neal has risen to what's arguably the most powerful position at the quintessential Wall Street firm. Though he is technically the No. 2 guy, he's clearly running the show (see accompanying story). Just about the only thing O'Neal has let CEO David Komansky do lately is control the spin on Merrill's recent analyst scandal--a savvy move that leaves his own name untarnished. Don't be surprised to see this grandson of a slave step into the CEO's shoes sooner than 2004, the year he's scheduled to take the job.
