Apr. 24--Sir Tom McKillop, the near-retired chief executive officer of AstraZeneca P.L.C., bounded into a room at the drugmaker's Wilmington complex and wasted no time lancing some dragons:

Drug safety advocates are sputtering "nonsense." Regulators are creating "imbalance" in risk-vs.-benefit decisions. Americans are catching "the European disease" of excess caution and may lose more business to Asia.

Minutes later, perhaps unsurprisingly, McKillop confided that one of his favorite books is On Aggression, by Nobel Prize-winning zoologist Konrad Lorenz, a pioneer of theories about why humans kill each other.

"Fascinating," the Scottish chemist-turned-CEO said in an interview.
