That night the Gateses went to their first U2 concert. The next night they went back to see it again. They were stunned by the way Bono could move thousands of people at a rock concert to vow to make poverty history. "You always worry for him when he gets up onstage to say these things," says Melinda. "Yeah, [we think] Oh, no, these are normal people here!" says Bill. Bono slept at their house, and the three of them stayed up until 3 a.m. scheming about the G-8 summit and listening to Bono's impressions of Martin Luther...

The Eriksons, who met in a relay race and have run 30 marathons between them, hope to win, but finishing together might prove more important. "She beat...
Sarkozy has certainly made no secret of his ambitions. When asked last year if he thought of the presidency while shaving in the morning, he replied, "Not just when I'm shaving." Sarkozy has based his appeal on a vow to cause a "rupture" with the way France has been run for the past 30 years. He criticizes France's 35-hr. workweek and calls for economic liberalization instead of the traditional welfare-state model to which Chirac, de Villepin and the socialist opposition pay fealty. At the same time, not all his positions are easily swallowed by the right...
