Bill Gates’s Next Big Thing by Nicholas D Kristof

Here’s a paradox: In these brutal economic times, one of the leading advocates for the world’s poorest people is one of the richest.Bill Gates will publish his first “annual letter” on Monday outlining his work on his twin passions — health and development in the poorest nations and education in America — and calling for the United States to do more even during this economic crisis. I came here to Seattle for an advance peek at the letter and to ask how he is adjusting to his transition from tycoon to philanthropist.
