boston doubt expect increase scientific
We doubt this show is over, and in the end we expect that Boston Scientific will increase its bid.
pay
I think J&J has a claim. I don't think they are going to have to pay Guidant.
good hospital news products
The good news is that this is not a recall, products are not being removed from hospital shelves, and no one has died.
stand
You know where you stand with him. Nothing is candy-coated.
believe boston certainly harder scientific
They're certainly making it harder for J&J to come back. Strategically we believe Boston Scientific with Guidant is a better match.
iron strike
There's a phrase: to strike while the iron is hot. The iron is hot.
johnson market rather sooner suspect
I suspect that Johnson & Johnson will be in the market sooner rather than later.

He's earned the award. The company has done well, the stock has done well. They've delivered clean quarters since he's come aboard. He's had an opportunity to stretch a bit, and make his mark.

At this stage in the negotiation process, we believe decisions are being made not only on dollars and cents, but also ego, strategy and a broader view of the competitive landscape.
bid factor includes price raised
Interestingly, (Boston Scientific) only raised its bid by $1, signaling that price is but one factor in the negotiation - but includes timeliness of closure.

In our opinion this news is not new and should not slow down the merger with Guidant.
johnson step
If you want to step back, yeah, they are mucking up Johnson & Johnson's bid.
