Sometimes it was threatening language; other times it was physical intimidation; but often, it was much worse.  Eventually, women who were subjected to this behavior exploited a loophole in stock-exchange rules and opened the door to unprecedented lawsuits that shook Wall Street to its very core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking its title from the notorious party room at Smith Barney's Garden City, New York branch, \u003cem\u003eTales from the Boom-Boom Room\u003c\/em\u003e is the detailed and riveting insider account of the lewd and obscene behavior that has run rampant on Wall Street.
