Performances

Some of music's brightest stars, including Bob Mould and Elvis Costello, offer up their latest for NEWSWEEK's cameras.

    Refreshing to see many folks who are not in the limelite but who affect our lives in positive ways-including internet personalities. However, there are some on this list we won't miss and who shouldn't have been included. A dictator and a madam? Please!

    How about Arthur C. Clarke? The man is one of the most influential thinkers of the past century. Wrote numerous bestselling novels, invented communications satellites, was Stanley Kubrick's collaborator. An enormous oversight to exclude him from the list.
