With such challenges, it's no wonder that Grove's motto (and title of his latest book) is "Only the Paranoid Survive." Andy Grove is clearly a survivor. After successful treatment for prostate cancer last year, the 60-year-old executive stays as trim as a Pentium chip by bicycling, skiing, jogging, kayaking and swimming...

With the right funding, Smith is convinced he can return the Fifth to the Democratic column...
