What must this small boy, a child who loves nothing more than making and flying kites in the warm Cuban brisa, have thought during his hours on the water? And later, as he paraded before the world on television--at Disney World, in school, playing "rescue pilot" with his cousins in the backyard--it seemed possible to read everything, anything, in his deep eyes: fear, joy, courage...

eBay had a first choice for its new CEO: Meg Whitman, who had honed her consumer-marketing and managerial skills at Hasbro (Mr. Potato Head was one of her toy lines) and worked as a marketing executive at Disney.
