...young, and he moved around a lot. Back home in Milwaukee, in high school, he says, "I was to myself until I played basketball." He didn't actually play organized hoops until his senior year. For Sprewell the NBA was the goal of somewhat fanciful--or incredibly prescient--career planning. "My girlfriend [at the time] was pregnant with my oldest daughter, so I needed to go to college," he recalls. "The best way for me to get there was basketball or football.

"We're trying to build something lasting," Bezos says, looking at this 850,000-sq.-ft. monument to free trade. The warehouse is stocked with books, CDs, TVs, stereos, video games, software, toys. And yet only 10% of the area is being used. The rest is stretch space, here for the ongoing e-commerce revolution...
