A man with a plan, Goel can’t wait until next year when he will “play bass guitar and sing backup in a Def Leppard cover...

Each is putting up $30 million to promote a grassroots, multimedia campaign - creating probably the biggest single-issue war chest in American campaign history. Once the world leader in high school graduation rates, the U.S. now ranks 19th, according to one study. "The future of this country is dependent on kids getting a great education, and not just kids in a certain social class but every kid," said Melinda Gates...
