Vajpayee doesn't much believe it, though. He suspects the crackdown Musharraf has begun on the terrorists will prove merely cosmetic. So he too has made a sharp shift, throwing off his almost avuncular detachment to launch a scary game of military brinkmanship. Pride and domestic politics lie behind that stroke; his party is facing an important state election, and the hard line he has adopted may help at the polls. But Vajpayee also owns a taste for boldness that he has demonstrated before. In 1998 he was the Prime Minister who ordered the atom-bomb tests that made India...
...course, this is Steve Jobs talking, and he says that about every new product when it's ready to launch. With him, it's always a revolution. But even when he's wrong, you can be pretty sure that whatever he and Apple are doing will quickly be copied by the rest of the PC world. So what if you don't have a Mac?

Large pharmaceutical firms such as GlaxoSmithKline and Aventis will each have to launch up to 45 new drugs--not the variations on existing ones that now account for so much of the industry's output (and advertising)--in the next decade if their sales are to grow at an 8% rate, estimates the consultancy Accenture. By 2010 that will mean producing six new drugs a year. Most companies today grind out just one or two a year. "Productivity is the No. 1 issue...
