...there’s always the follow-the-advice-of-a-fictional-movie route. We can think of a couple of entrepreneurial professors from Columbia who escaped from debt to make millions and a very catchy theme song. Their success was conditional on the existence of ghosts, and that endowment’s looking eerily spectral right about now isn’t it, Columbia?

...greatest thing about picking Person of the Decade is that you get to write in the inflated style that TIME reserves for this issue. It doesn't even have to make sense; it just has to sound as though it makes sense, like the stuff Sarah Jessica Parker typed on Sex and the City: In a decade when power shifted from organizations to individuals, when writers became cheap and librarians dear, when giving things away was the most successful business model, these men used their ingenuity to organize, connect and map our planet. For these reasons, and the fact that...
