“The national parklands have a major role in providing superlative opportunities for outdoor recreation, but they have other people serving values.

“Lands' End has undergone three major changes over the past couple of decades. The first was the introduction of an 800 number, in 1978; the second was express delivery, in 1994; and the third was the introduction of a Web site, in 1995.
