Trouble was, it was a difficult line to swallow. Gates as a fuzzy-headed amnesiac? This is the man revered even by the geniuses who roam Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., campus for his awesome "bandwidth" (geekspeak for intelligence). Gates' memory is so capacious that at age 11, he astounded friends and family by memorizing all 107 verses of the Sermon on the Mount.

But the suggestion that the mayor and some shadowy private army roam the streets late at night snatching up such unfortunates, packing them in crates and shipping them to a major national hamburger-restaurant chain, is without foundation. The mayor does drive about in an unmarked car at night, but only to ensure that all is under control in his beloved city and that crime...
