Hanna Ter Meulen harbors design ambitions as big as a (fashion) house. But on this particular morning, she is hunched over her hands, sewing away on nothing bigger than a little pocket. That's what Italians call a jacket's breast pocket, il taschino, and Ter Meulen, thimble on finger, is finishing off the neatly lined slit in the square scrap of French-vanilla gabardine during a weeklong stint learning Old World tailoring techniques. "You have to stitch really straight," the 23-year-old student says after ironing down the soft piece of fabric. "It's not to be rushed...

...annual tradition, we've given the back page of this issue to columnist Joel Stein, who has, in his inimitable fashion, ranked the TIME 100 on the basis of their influence on him. And in what we hope will become an annual tradition, this year we'll attempt to harness the power of these leaders, thinkers, artists, titans and heroes to address some of the most important issues of the day.
