The second tape shows a group of 15 uniformed men practicing advancing under fire in a lush grove of trees and tall grass.

With successes like that, it's no accident that Otellini is respected by Intel insiders as a steady hand--a welcome change in a company famous for its bitter boardroom battles. "In the Andy Grove era, it was very raucous," says Andy Bryant, Intel's CFO. "It was not unusual to have loud arguments in public places. Paul is a firm believer in not winning arguments by yelling or insulting...
