...India showed two years ago it could take on the giants on their home turf when Dr. Reddy's won the right to hawk generic versions of Eli Lilly's best-selling antidepressant, Prozac. That success opened the floodgates: there are currently at least a dozen patent challenges filed by Indian firms against U.S. drugmakers.

The CIA administers only about 15% to 20% of the annual intelligence budget. The rest is in the hands of the Pentagon, which has long had the final say over where the satellites go to spy and where the eavesdropping ships drop anchor and listen. But just when it makes sense to give the CIA director more...
