Grove bet his life on a "smart bomb" of high-dose radiation, a new procedure that he felt offered the best chances. It seems to have put the cancer away for now. Grove won't say he's "recovered," just that levels of the telltale prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in his blood have sunk...
...Andy Grove is so smart and technology companies so hot, why are Intel and just about every other tech stock falling off a cliff?

By next year, the Woodbury, N.Y., firm's high-tech tinting should be incorporated into ski goggles, car sunroofs, skylights and, of course, windows. In homes, it could help regulate temperature and conserve energy, something even Mr. Sunshine would approve...
