Although I wish you had chosen Al Gore as Person of the Year, I was fascinated by your decision to go with Putin. His determination to bring greatness to his nation, and his disregard for charm and charisma - which can fool people - are what we need in a leader. Sadly, those characteristics are lacking in most of the candidates of both parties in the U.S. Congratulations on a great choice and story. Harriet Robinson, DOYLESTOWN...

So far, Japan's literary establishment hasn't come up with an answer...

Putin may yet become the single most important person of the 21st century. Occupying the largest landmass of any nation, Russia has just begun to tap its natural resources and national potential. Putin's rise to power in 1999 is an astonishing story and was a stroke of genius by an otherwise embarrassing drunk of a President, Boris Yeltsin. Putin is that rare individual who came to govern Russia without the cancerous corruption that seems to plague...
