...studies are voluntary and largely focus on history and philosophy; those seeking the traditional religious instruction of their faith may also do so in classes led by trained educators who share those students' beliefs. The school cafeteria is attentive to religious dietary rules and accommodates fasting during Ramadan or Lent. Students can take religious holidays, no matter how awkwardly they sit with the school calendar. Yet for all that, religion doesn't play a big role in school life, says Gregory Kimbembe, 15, who is of African origin. "You don't really notice religion at all except for the crucifixes...

...career of Indian business executive Dhirajlal Ambani. Known as Dhirubhai, Ambani rose from rural nobody to towering tycoon without the usual benefits of family wealth, education or connection. He was the founder and chairman of Reliance Industries, manufacturer of the polyester that clothed India (and in the 70s lent its kitchy style to tight-pantsed Bollywood actors like Amitabh). By Dhirubhai's death in 2002, Reliance was India's largest corporation, a leader in petrochemicals and a dozen other interests and the largest corporation. A Times of India poll in 2000 chose him as Greatest Creator of Wealth...
