Branson runs his conglomerate of nine divisions and more than 100 companies--the mix is churning constantly--out of an imposing Victorian mansion in London's posh Holland Park, only a few steps from his home and family.

Bright blue eyes and a wide trust-me smile are set off by a private-island tan. Longish, turbulent, sandy hair, streaked with gray, and his trademark vandyke...
Altman's movie won't be released for two months, but the sound track is already here, on a just released Verve CD. As the jazzmen of yore might've said, it's a gas.

They file the scissor blades, mix the gunpowder for the firecrackers, knot the carpets, stitch the soccer balls with needles longer than their fingers. Human-rights groups guess there may be 200 million children around the world, from China to South America, working full time--no play, no school, no chance.
