...loving PepsiCo president and chief financial officer. ("Driving them up the wall/Iron Woman rules them all.") Nooyi, 48, plays a mean power chord herself. In 1997 she prodded Roger Enrico, then CEO, to spin off PepsiCo's fast-food business. She later pushed Enrico to buy Quaker Oats and Tropicana, two bold acquisitions that kept the company squarely in snack foods while adding healthier fare to the mix. Strategic vision has always been her strength. Before joining PepsiCo in 1994, she held top corporate-strategy posts at Motorola and Asea Brown Boveri. A native of Madras, India, Nooyi came...
...began his career writing songs performed by Dionne Warwick and Ashford and Simpson and producing small movies. Pulled into the family business in 1982 by his father and made CEO in 1994, he scored wins by pushing premium brands like Chivas Regal and Absolut, and buying and selling Tropicana for a juicy profit.

...takes his sweet time. Bishop T.D. Jakes is in the 10th minute of a marathon sermon to 22,500 men in the Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. Today's text is Genesis 1, in which God, famously, talks to himself. Jakes, a large man dressed in an eye-catching beige leisure ensemble, appears to be doing the same. He is strolling meditatively across the stage, his baritone voice set at low rumble, and his thoughts at first seem so loose and free-associative that he cannot make it through a seven-word divine utterance. "And God said...
...Tropicana Field, Jakes' subject turns out to be every man's value as created in God's image, and the necessity of allowing God to develop that image as a photographer develops a piece of film. "Is there anybody here who's been in a darkroom?" he asks, alluding both to film processing and the dark places of the soul. The men, including hundreds watching via satellite hookup from prisons, roar in recognition. An hour later, lakes of sweat spreading across his formidable frame, Jakes has abandoned form and logic and is chanting, "Develop it, man, develop it. Develop...
