HOW MANY more of yesterday's Wall Street heroes will bite the dust? John Meriwether and his Hole In The Wall gang are already being measured for Boot Hill. Nomura's Ethan Penner and CSFB's Andy Stone are down to their last bullet and their last $100m. Mike Vranos, once the fastest mortgage gun at Kidder Peabody, now carries only a water pistol (and that only fires backwards). Julian Robertson of Tiger gunned down six of the seven Samurai but the one Japanese survivor caught Robertson with a round of buck-shot in the duff.
