...brother rockets did fly astronauts to the moon, six of them taking crews straight down into the powdered-sugar soil of the ancient lunar surface. Thirty years ago, Apollo 11, the first of those historic missions, took off from Cape Kennedy carrying space veterans Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. Four days later, on July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin actually set their ugly, leggy lunar module down on the plains of the Sea of Tranquillity, becoming the first two men to walk on another world. Over the next three years, Apollos 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 followed...

Redback, a high-speed broadband IPO with enough Cisco overlap to be cast as Junior, went from 23 to 163 in two months. But none of them can touch the run of Juniper Networks, a newly minted maker of next-generation routers. A direct competitor of Cisco's, it jumped from...
...simple threads. The book has a special force because it comes from a man who is a prototype 21st century leader--he has his own URL--and a leading candidate to one day succeed Kofi Annan as U.N. Secretary-General. That pedigree is surely responsible for some of his buzz, but the ambassador's book is anything but a faddish flash...
