...ground delivery in the U.S., handling 13.7 million packages daily and moving items worth 6% of the U.S. GDP every 24 hours. By leveraging its operational efficiency, UPS is attacking what Eskew estimates might become a $3 trillion market--not only taking on smaller, European-based logistics firms like Exel and TNT but also fending off competitive pressure from Belgium-based DHL, which is making an aggressive push into the U.S. Over the past few years, UPS has spent more than $1 billion acquiring 25 companies (from a bank to freight forwarders) to become a logistics jack-of-all-trades...
Similarly, West has taken risks through the draft, signing a moody Nick Van Exel when many other teams passed because of his attitude. The Lakers first-round draft picks have consistently become solid NBA players: Vlade Divac, Elden Campbell, Doug Christie, Anthony Peeler and Eddie Jones, are important contributors to their teams, if not stars...
...MONTHS LATER, JOHNSON was working out with the Lakers, who until last week were a young and talented but leaderless team stuck in third place in the Pacific Division.

In Teresa Van Exel's second-grade class, various groups do different things at the same time. The second grade has chosen the apple as this year's theme, and in one corner, Van Exel conducts a science class for eight children on how apples were stored for winter during the 1800s. Meanwhile...
Many of the "older" women--juniors and seniors--have found themselves ousted from teams by a new crop of well-trained, specialty athletes--students who have entered with strong high school backgrounds and a desire to exel in a specific sport. Also, many women who came here believing the sports program would be a somewhat low-pressure athletic opportunity have flinched at the impact of accelerating competitiveness; and many of them, especially the juniors and seniors, have fled interscholastic sports, succumbing to the pressures of trying to practice and study...
