...India is one vast enigma, it could have no more apt leader than a Prime Minister who prefers poetry, a rousing orator who shuns the public and a computer illiterate, 79, whose young tech warriors are taking on the world. But Vajpayee's greatest trick--and the one that places him among the world's most significant figures--is his pursuit of peace with Pakistan while heading the Bharatiya Janata Party (Indian People's Party), which rose to power in the 1990s on a wave of Hindu chauvinism. In January the Hindu Vajpayee met Pakistan's Muslim President Pervez Musharraf...
...finance documents, exactly how he made his money in the previous year. His reports should be taught in school--not only in business school but also in high school and, yes, Sunday school. He knows what he knows and doesn't try to know more than that. He avoided tech because he professed not to understand it. His ignorance cost him a couple of years' underperformance, but he quickly caught up and passed everyone else by focusing on bonds and housing plays--two boring, overlooked areas that turned out to be the best-performing sectors of the past decade...
...Silicon Valley guys like to smirk, calling him the Wal-Mart of the tech world. But Michael Dell, 39, is having the last laugh. What started as a $1,000 investment, and was launched in his dorm room at the University of Texas, is today the world's No. 1 computer maker in market share, thanks to a relentless focus on selling direct to the consumer. First came desktops and notebooks, then servers and storage, and now printers and flat-screen TVs. The company racked up $41 billion in sales last year and wants to boost that to $80 billion...
...Silicon Valley, being wrong is a common side effect of being innovative. Jobs has been synonymous with the kind of ingenuity that's at the forefront of the tech industry. Everything his company does is scrutinized, often imitated and sometimes even stolen by competitors. (Windows is the most notable example of the highest form of flattery; Wal-Mart's launch of a download-music site is the most recent.) The mouse, how your computer's desktop acts when you point and click at folders and files, wireless Net connectivity, flat-panel displays and DVD burners--these are just some...
...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 the top CDC post a year later, she has spearheaded the creation of the Emergency Response Center, a high-tech war room that allows the CDC to link to and share information with scientists from around the world. "We are redefining CDC as the nation's health-protection agency," says Gerberding. That means being ready for a terrorist attack with smallpox, preparing for the next influenza pandemic and battling...
