...about. I was not impressed, however, by your choice of Senate majority leader Bill Frist, Wal-Mart ceo Lee Scott and, goodness, actor Jamie Foxx, among others. It's like 2001 all over again, when Time chose Mayor Rudy Giuliani over the real Person of the Year, Osama bin Laden. The world is not the U.S., and the U.S. is not the world. Edwin Del Valle Manila I hope South African president thabo Mbeki gets the chance to read that Time has named him "the most powerful man in Africa." Mbeki has an opportunity to pioneer change from within...
...morph this dramatically, it should be Steve Wynn. After all, Wynn turned a city that was a pit stop for male vice into an international family destination. Expectations that he was going to top his past extravaganzas were so huge that when he started construction on the lush, waterfall-laden, 140-ft. man-made mountain in front of his new hotel, the rumor in town was that he was building a ski resort on the Strip.

The "factory" is a nondescript shophouse Johnny buys in 1942 to serve as home and headquarters for his many business schemes. "Our house was not the kind of place just anyone could visit," writes Johnny's only son Jasper, the first of the book's three narrators. "To be invited, you had to be like my father...
...expanded my horizons, or at least stretched them further along the Northeast corridor. I’ve learned to navigate an entirely new and un-grid-like city, adjusted to life without round-the-clock pizza delivery, and come to appreciate the charm of Boston’s brick-laden, cobbled-street neighborhoods. Despite the grudging fondness I’ve developed for Beantown, when senior job panic rolled around, I spent my fall submitting applications, racking up frequent flier miles, and assuming this July would see me safely back in the City, where I belonged...
