...past two years, Mendon?a has trekked through remote areas in a four-wheel-drive vehicle, explaining to skeptical village chiefs the government's progress in the Timor Sea negotiations and its plans to meet the basic needs of citizens and save half the expected revenues in a fund for future generations - like the thousand young Catholics gathered at a conference in Ermera, a coffee-growing area some 50 km from Dili. It's taken Prime Minister Alkatiri and his escort almost three hours to make the hazardous road journey here, but at the end of his pep talk, he takes...

"When he knows we're going to the museum," Bobby's mom Candace Chazen says, "his eyes light up, and he puts on his little shoes...
...businesspeople and investors, she's a household name. That might be because Carly Fiorina turns the wheel at one of the icons of the technology era, Hewlett-Packard. It might be because she's a compelling speaker and an imaginative marketer. It might be because she is one of only eight women leading a FORTUNE 500 company. But as the person who engineered the $19 billion merger with Compaq--and fought off a shareholder challenge--she was guaranteed star status...
