...always been fidgety, I asked Rapport if he wouldn't mind putting me through the same tests he gave the boys. And so last week I found myself at the UCF Psychology Department, where a grad student affixed a device called an actigraph to my left wrist. Actigraphs look like digital watches and generate a signal each time they are moved, even slightly. They allow researchers to measure, quite precisely, a subject's kinetic activity.

Or as he recently put it to Johannesburg weekly the Financial Mail: "If you were a doctor and your patient had major cardiovascular and lung problems, prescribing an aspirin ... might make him feel better, but would it solve the problem?" At the G-20, the developing world will look to Manuel to speak for them, as he often does. The humbled leaders of rich nations are likely to listen. "There's not a single finance minister in the rich world today that will not take a call from Trevor Manuel," says Pippa Green, author of the Manuel biography Choice...
