Despite his frail frame, Gates has plenty of muscle. The company he co- founded, Microsoft, accounts for nearly 40% of the PC software industry's revenues of $8 billion and commands 90% of the crucial market for system- control software.

But even though Prince Karim has long been ranked as one of the world's richest...
...director Tran Anh Hung, 30, and a cast of refugees; both tell bold stories of a child's coming of age. And Abel Ferrara's Hollywood horror movie Body Snatchers, saved from the slag heap of Warner Bros. rejects, revives the old parable of the Pod People with a frame-by-frame savvy that used to be unique...
