...TIME 100 special is the pairings: Jerry Seinfeld explaining how Chris Rock gets away with breaking every rule of political correctness, novelist Robin Cook on how scientist J. Craig Venter may be coming close to inventing a living thing. The maestro of those pairings is deputy managing editor Adi Ignatius, who presides over the TIME 100 issue and orchestrates not only the choices but also who will write about whom. He was ably helped by editors Belinda Luscombe, Bobby Ghosh, Bill Saporito, Jeffrey Kluger and Amy Sullivan. Deputy art director D.W. Pine came up with the elegant design...
What does David Beckham's superstardom have to do with a pair of warring Bavarian brothers in the early 1900s? More than you think, according to this compelling book. Smit tells the story of Adi and Rudi Dassler, partners after World War I in a sports-shoe factory in tiny Herzogenaurach, Germany. The two got their spiked running shoes onto the feet of Olympic star Jesse Owens in 1936, but a bitter family feud soon split their business in half, resulting in the founding of Adidas (Adi's outfit) and Puma (Rudi's company).

But I noticed that the class photo accompanying the story showed Putin as a youth of 14 with eyes devoid of emotion. Putin may not have been born with an emotionless stare, but he certainly developed it early. Audrey Thomas, Tottenham, Canada...
...unparalleled team in Russia. The fascinating cover story on Putin was written by deputy managing editor Adi Ignatius. Adi served as the Wall Street Journal's Moscow bureau chief in the early 1990s and was eager to get back to Russia. Moscow correspondent Yuri Zarakhovich knows all the right questions and the people who can answer them. Senior editor Nathan Thornburgh, who wrote the beautiful story retracing a famous journey from Moscow to St. Petersburg, has followed Russia since his first visit as a 15-year-old exchange student. Yuri Kozyrev, who took the superb pictures for Nathan...
