Portland and Memphis, 1962 to 1980. Two American companies grew fast enough to kill themselves. Blue Ribbon Sports doubled its sales almost every year for a decade and was thrown out of two banks for it. Federal Express built a national overnight network before it carried its first package, lost twenty-nine million dollars in twenty-six months, and had its founder indicted for forging a signature to keep the planes flying. Neither ran out of customers. Both ran out of the right to owe money. This is an account of the lenders, the trading company, the customs service and the juries who decided, on particular days in 1974 and 1975, whether either company would exist. Covers Philip H. Knight; William J. Bowerman; Frederick W. Smith; Tadayuki Ito; Blue Ribbon Sports; Nike, Inc.; Federal Express Corporation; and Nissho Iwai.
