Amar Bose Is The Most Lead-Footed septuagenarian I have ever seen behind the wheel. We're zipping along the coast of the Hawaiian island where he spends a few weeks every year, and as Bose maneuvers through the curves, I try to account for his driving confidence. He has professed to me a lifelong enthusiasm for sportscars, so there's that. There's also his perfect eyesight (thanks, he says, to a series of eye exercises he does daily). More mundanely, there's the radar detector on his dashboard. But after spending a couple days with Bose talking about everything from network theory and cold fusion to philosophy and badminton, I'm convinced that there's something more fundamental behind his penchant for speed. Amar Bose is just incredibly eager to get to the future.
