(Chemistry professor Joe Schwarcz): 鈥淚 will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug, nor give advice which may cause his death 鈥� 鈥� That passage comes from the Hippocratic oath, by which physicians promise to practise medicine ethically and honestly. Not all abide by the oath, but doctors who wilfully harm their patients are rare. The ultimate harm, of course, is murder.

Chauffeur-driven limousines, millions in stock options, golden parachutes. It's no wonder bosses' pay and perks can rankle. Here's why the best ones are worth it. 鈥� Let's start with the basics: how chief executives spend their time.

It happened again last Saturday. And boy, when it hit me it felt great 鈥� though it left me a little shaken. 鈥� Time to call Daniel Levitin for some answers.

The popular stereotype is that hardcore techies are, well, humor-challenged. But software hackers are another matter. Despite his inability to keep a straight face when a reporter calls asking about supreme moral vigilance in the programming world, Bob Nystrom is living proof that hackers thrive on humor in ways other techies rarely do...
