...which small firms are out-competing their larger, more conventional rivals. I could just as easily have selected the airline industry, in which Southwest and JetBlue profit from a simple strategy that the larger players like United have been either unwilling or unable to replicate. And the once great steel companies of America’s past—US Steel and Bethlehem Steel—have both been so unsuccessful in competing with cheap foreign producers and nimble competitors like Nucor that both have applied for bankruptcy protection this year, with the distinct possibility that Bethlehem may never emerge...

Alborn, 21, is 5 ft. 11 in. and 130 lbs., as strong as steel, and he's been jumping since he was 9. His fear of flying kept him from early greatness, but he has finally broken that barrier. With a "frog concept" technique that has him squatting low on the inrun and then exploding high at takeoff, he can now soar more than 200 m. With the home crowd pumping him up-a big factor for jumpers-he could bring home...
