...list did not include a single West European political leader. In the year 2004, when the European Union will emerge as a new power bloc of 25 nation-states with a total population significantly greater than that of the U.S., such an omission is historic. We Europeans too often tire of reading about France's Jacques Chirac, Britain's Tony Blair, Germany's Gerhard Schr?der and Italy's Silvio Berlusconi, but by your own selection criteria?possession of political power, moral influence and so forth?I would have expected at least one European leader to have made the list.

But negotiations stalled, and Yankees owner George Steinbrenner stole A-Rod as if he were a tire on a Volvo with Massachusetts plates sitting in the wrong part of the South Bronx. And while he's assured of being hated in every other stadium, success in the Bronx isn't a given. "New York is scary," says Rodriguez. "It's an enormous challenge." He's not just tempering...
