...swiftly boosting his company's 2005 predominantly French sales of $150 million to rival those of global giant Nike's $14.7 billion in 2005. Sound a touch fanciful? Don't tell him that. "You know where Puma was five years ago? Deeply troubled," Koné says of the now surging German-American sportswear group, whose sales last year exceeded $2 billion. "And six years ago, Airness scarcely existed. We didn't get this far this fast worrying about what we supposedly...
...realize her fake-it-till-you-make-it strategy wasn't working. By April, she says, "the stress was so bad that I knew if I stayed at Cornell one more week, I would kill myself."

...something on which to build a heroic myth after the nation?s abject surrender - than if there were not, and after seeing this film, one has to agree.
