Vasella keeps a keen eye on his cherished drug business from an elegant second-floor office in the old Sandoz headquarters. On a counter behind his black leather chair are a pair of ancient Egyptian vases, a sword from the Han dynasty and a large blue-green bust of Buddha from the Tang dynasty. An avid collector of Oriental art, he recently bought a 13th century Tibetan statue of Buddha made of gilded bronze, which he keeps at his home in Zug. "I talk to him sometimes," says Vasella, "and I say, 'You know, I like you better than Jesus...

He also registered 70 rebounds and 28 steals last year. Lin will also be building on other, less quantifiable skills, such as awareness of his surroundings on the court and a high energy level...
...ball, and pushing the tempo. With both squads playing their third game in less than 48 hours, Harvard seemed by far the fresher club. The Crimson was consistently able to get ahead of the defense in transition and convert layups—it shot over 59 percent from the floor and racked up 27 assists on 36 field goals, four shy of the single-game school record. Northwestern State committed 25 turnovers and shot under 35 percent for the game, including only 6-of-24 three-point makes.“We like to play in the open court because...
