...intervenes occasionally from his corner perch in front of his laptop. Tom is well-liked as a project director--he is an extremely hard worker, a prime example of the overachieving, self-confident and macho personality that seems to serve you well in consulting. He has a reputation for working very long hours and pushing his people hard. In the middle of Wang's meeting with Mike, Tom whips out a draft document that he thinks will help their planning--surprised, Mike asks when such a plan was created. Tom replies that he wrote the plan "between...

...want to be a prime minister in Pakistan? Just-deposed premier Nawaz Sharif found himself in the Big House Monday, facing charges of kidnapping and attempted murder - and there's a warrant out for his predecessor, too. Benazir Bhutto, however, is relatively safe, living in exile in London. But don't forget her father, the previous civilian prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was hanged in 1977. In an exclusive courtroom interview with TIME during his Friday appearance, Nawaz indicated he had no idea of the charges against him.
