Overview
Russell Simmons is a hip-hop icon. He made records with LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys, produced The Nutty Professor, and designed clothing for Phat Farm, his fashion label. Other hip-hop moguls pattern their careers after his. Companies from New York City to Hollywood consult him when they want to add a hip-hop flavor to their advertisements, while the United Nations has asked him to raise awareness of poverty, war, and AIDS worldwide.Synopsis
Bill Richardson has been a congressman, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, secretary of energy, governor of New Mexico-and a candidate for president of the United States. He is a skilled speaker who has put his talents to work for more than 30 years in politics and public service.
Richardson grew up in two worlds-in both Mexico and the United States. His early experiences in bridging cultures have made him an effective diplomat and negotiator, even with dictators. The popular politician points to his Hispanic heritage and the values of his Mexican-American upbringing as the reason for his ability to connect with others-and get things done.
