Little Engine with Wings

from Slate

One could even argue that [Michael] Lewis, having fallen in love with one story, missed a second, possibly more interesting one, in which the Little Engine That Could grows wings and flies too close to the sun (or something).

I like this description of a faux-underdog from a Moneyball review. Or maybe it's an underdog that becomes an overdog. Icarus turns up in funny places.
