...brother Fernando Zobel de Ayala ’82, the president and COO. Their father, Jaime Zobel de Ayala ’57, retired as the company president in 1994 and stayed on as chairman until 2006.

The latter, Zobel said, mattered to him much more. “There are many interesting and accomplished Filipinos,” he wrote in an e-mail from the Philippines. “But global recognition tends...
...world motor sport's governing body. Successive world championships for Alonso have inspired a karting boom in Spain, Caro says, and now traffic is building on the U.K.'s kart tracks too. Hamilton's record-breaking season - he's won three of the 14 races so far, becoming the youngest-ever driver to lead the world championship - has left circuits reporting a "surge in demand," says Graham Smith, secretary of the Association of British Kart Clubs.

At 17 she became the youngest broadcaster for Channel 1 radio and television and went on to write for Russian Cosmopolitan and Elle before forming her own p.r. company, which helped launch brands like Gucci and Valentino in Russia. Because of her TV and radio career, Khromtchenko has become famous in Russia.

...time when many of America's few remaining big-city black mayors are young, polished and corporate-minded, Kilpatrick seems to be a bit of a throwback. He became mayor in 2002 at age 31, the youngest mayor in the city's history. Cultural icon Russell Simmons crowned him the nation's first "hip-hop mayor" and Kilpatrick, now 37, did not try to avoid a life of excess. His first inauguration was marked with "club crawls" (he said they were intended to galvanize Detroit's disaffected youth); he wore a diamond-studded earring and flashy suits; his wife...
