...Gates, who is using the world's largest private fortune to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, are among the most influential people of not only our time but all time. Rosie O'Donnell, however, has left her mark by simply parading as television's opinionated egomaniac. Unfortunately, such errors of omission and commission could put TIME in line to be ranked among the 100 least influential publications...
...hero's birth and impromptu, painfully comic circumcision. What matters here is the casting of the two--sorry, six--leads. Steve Coogan, the Brit comic best known for incarnating Alan Partridge, a suavely unknowing TV host, plays four roles: Tristram, his father, Sterne and a put-upon egomaniac star named Steve Coogan. Rob Brydon, who has worked often with Coogan, plays Tristram's Uncle Toby and "Rob Brydon." Much of the film's grace and brass come from their comic kinship, as when they compare Pacino impressions, or discuss the exact shade of Toby's teeth. Brydon suggests "not white...
...strongest characters in the book is Jack Warner himself. A brilliant egomaniac, he became angry when top producers received all the credit for Warner pictures, and he had a habit of suspending uncooperative stars. Finally, during World War II, Brother Harry had to step in. "You must bear in mind," he wrote, "that everyone is preaching liberty and freedom and the actors are getting to believe it.

Early in the decade, Longo became famous for large-scale realistic drawings of business-suited men and women in lurching, heaving postures--a not-bad portrait of the young middle classes being buffeted by their times. Midway through the decade, taste changed, and a cooler...
...presence as an occupying force. Marc Gilmore Watertown, Massachusetts, U.S. The Nader Effect Reading about Ralph Nader, his effect on the 2000 election and his possible effect on the 2004 election infuriated me [Oct. 4]. Who does this man think he is? Nader is a self-important egomaniac who is under the illusion that he and his naive, deluded supporters actually matter. This stubborn idiot is willing to take votes away from the Democratic presidential candidate (with the gleeful support of the Republicans) and put the far right in control for four more years. He has zero chance of winning...
