Back in Seattle, though, the Gateses show less patience. They run the foundation like a business. They are remarkably fluent in the science of public health ("I suspect Bill Gates knows more about the molecular biology of mosquitoes than 95% of the doctors in the world," says Kim). And both use the language of business to describe the human experience. "There is no better return on investment than saving the life of a newborn," Melinda told reporters at a November press conference...
Americans, I suspect, like to see celebrities do charity because of our paradoxical expectations of them. We want them to be glamorous and live fantastic lives, and yet we also want them to be, in the words of Us magazine, "just like us!"

The Italian government publicly denies the U.S. insistence that the CIA cleared the caper with Rome's intelligence service in advance, and this summer an Italian court issued arrest warrants for 22 CIA operatives allegedly involved.
