...office is rather modest, sparsely decorated and filled with standard-issue furniture. The biggest piece of art is a huge photo of a Pentium processor chip. There are smaller pictures of Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci and Henry Ford, though he admits that he has little admiration for the latter. The few personal pictures include one of the original dozen Microsoft employees (most with scruffy beards, except him), one of Ann Winblad on a trip to Germany, and one with Melinda and nine friends on a 1995 vacation to Indonesia.

...described by the White House as basically social, praised Clinton's stand on China and urged him to visit President Suharto of Indonesia (as did others and he did). Most social encounters in Washington are part backslap and part business, and these had more of the former than the latter. But because reporters are trying to compensate for charges that they favor Democrats, they are more willing to buy the G.O.P. line that foreign-policy decisions are as open to influence as domestic ones, like tobacco regulations, and this simply isn't true...
