"That depends," says Bannister, "on how long people think it is worth going on trying...
...Boise's Bank of Idaho building. Heavily recruited from the Harvard and Stanford business schools, it is a compact, youthful group. "We purposely stay thin," says Charles F. McDevitt, 35, who is one of the company's six vice presidents. "You just have to run a little faster...
