captain great jim
I think Jim Tobin is a great captain of the ship.
boston feeling good next street wall
Wall Street did not have a good feeling for what's next for Boston Scientific.
authority full good time
Tobin being here full time is good ? you want someone with authority on site. That will make decision-making a lot faster.
close job leader manager playing rules small
He is an extraordinary manager and leader of St. Jude, and he is in the right job for him. You need to be independent, hard-driving and be your own person. You're small and playing the rules close to the edge. That's not the J&J way.
boston impressive peak scientific team
Boston Scientific has always been impressive -- they've done so many acquisitions over the years. They have a SWAT team that is just at its peak -- they come in and say hey, we're going to do a deal, and boom.

We all knew the lawsuits were coming. If J&J walks away from this deal, it'll be because of money, not because they're surprised by something in these documents.
battles
We will see more battles of the data.
bid expensive jude pay price
The price that I think you'd have to pay for St. Jude would be even more expensive than what Guidant is being bid for today.

The thing that's keeping this tennis match going longer is that both sides, if they can't have it, they really don't want the other guy to have it.

Q4 is behind us, and what the Boston Scientific investment thesis is now is the future, and particularly the future with Guidant.

Another company could have been in that situation and not have been able to take advantage of the situation. They were ready to have good luck.
battle change doubt market noise science statistics
There will be a lot of noise and statistics and science in their battle for market share, but in the end, I doubt things will change much.
company difficult itself time work
This is not one of those situations. This is just a difficult time the company will work itself through.
expected market overall smaller
That (smaller market share) was expected. What wasn't expected is that the overall market is smaller than anticipated.
