Stronach, 37, has already cut a swath among the world's corporate elites. Magna, founded by her Austrian-immigrant father Frank in a rural Ontario tool-and-die shop, has offices in 22 countries and a global workforce of 75,000. But Stronach's philanthropic interests, which include running a national education foundation, took her beyond a focus on the bottom line. As she campaigned across Canada's vast distances this winter, some admirers were already comparing her to the young Margaret Thatcher. "She generated significantly more glamour than I could bring," conceded Stephen Harper, 45, the victor...
...basement of her family's rural South Dakota home that Julie Gerberding created her first laboratory, studied the life cycle of bugs and planted the roots of her public-health career. As the first female director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), she helms an agency that is the nation's front line of defense against invasions from the world of microbes both natural and, with the threat of bioterrorism, increasingly man-made. A careful, soft-spoken physician, Gerberding first drew attention for her honest, concise handling of the anthrax attacks in 2001. Since getting...
...poor more than the rich. In reality, it tends to affect the middle class more than anyone else, especially those in the suburbs with more than one car.

...Coors, 57, won't get the Senate job by birthright. The rarefied world in which he moves--he does his elk hunting in Russia, not the Rockies--won't endear him to Colorado's rural, blue-collar constituency. And though he is a conservative Christian, beer ads that feature him with the barely clad Coors Light Twins could cost him credibility on the family-values front. Also, his bid sets up a costly, divisive Republican primary race against former Congressman Bob Schaffer. Still, state G.O.P. chairman Ted Haley isn't fretting. "It can only help us build momentum," he says...
...listening have always run parallel to one another. After graduating from SUNY Binghamton with a joint degree in philosophy and psychology, he built furniture while serving in a New York hospital’s psychiatric ward. A chance encounter with a 70-year-old luthier (guitar maker) in rural Maine inspired him to begin his first apprenticeship crafting violins. In 1988, he opened his own shop in Cambridge and began studying part-time to become a psychologist, graduating from the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology in 1998. “Violinmaking holds up the angst of working as a psychologist...
