...form of exercise, of course, can do only so much. "For older individuals, Tai Chi will not be the end-all," says William Haskell, an expert in chronic-disease prevention at Stanford University. "But Tai Chi plus walking would be a very good mixture." Younger people probably need more of an aerobic challenge, but they can benefit from Tai Chi's capacity to reduce stress...
...decade veteran of HBO, Bewkes, who holds an M.B.A. from Stanford, works as successfully with creative types as with number crunchers. He and Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer have become especially close, since both resisted Pittman's attempts to centrally manage their divisions. Bewkes is not as close, however, with his new subordinate Jamie Kellner, CEO of Turner Broadcasting, who was seen as a Pittman ally.

When programmers fresh out of Stanford start a new software company, they know whether or not their ideas are theoretically possible. Because they know how a computer works, they do not waste time writing software that will malfunction. By contrast, a biotechnology company does exactly that. The myriad proteins that make up a living cell are still mostly mysterious to scientists. Thus, making chemicals that cause the cells to do one thing and not another is akin to writing a program for a computer about which you know very little. Drug discovery is like poker. You can give yourself...
