A Boston man is the east wind made flesh.

Q4 is behind us, and what the Boston Scientific investment thesis is now is the future, and particularly the future with Guidant. I expect, if they allow us, that's going to be the focus of the conference call.

In choosing a hypothesis there is no virtue in being timid. I clearly would have been burned at the stake in another age.

I wrote somewhere during the Cold War that I sometimes wish the Iron Curtain were much taller than it is, so that you could see whether the development of science with no communication was parallel on the two sides. In this case it certainly wasn't.

Each of us is a book waiting to be written, and that book, if written, results in a person explained.

It's great to be back here in Boston,
