...didn't Apple do something this bold before? Apple board member William Campbell, CEO of Intuit, says the answer is simple: "They didn't have Steve." Jobs is for once uncharacteristically modest. "A crisis," he says with a shrug, "is a wonderful time to make some changes...

...takes an agile mind to defend drunk driving and kids' smoking. Take the modest proposal to set the drunk-driving threshold at .08 blood-alcohol content nationwide--stricter than the .10 standard in 34 states. The liquor lobby long played on the fear that .08 would mean social drinkers who've had a few after work would all fail the Breathalizer.
