Obama

Obama could make a pick based solely on race or sex - though it's not clear why the most empathetic judges are minorities or women - to please parts of his coalition. But if the president wants to secure the success of his economic, political, and national-security objectives, he should remember FDR's example and choose a judge who believes in the right of the president and Congress, not the courts, to make the nation's policies. If Obama shoots for empathy instead, he will give Senate Republicans yet another opportunity to rally around a unifying issue where they better represent the majority of Americans.

Miuccia Prada

The rise of Mrs. Prada, as she is known to her Italian staff members, is a well-known tale—your basic story of a onetime communist and mime student from Milan who takes over her family's dusty luggage company and, with the help of her go-getting husband, turns it into a luxury conglomerate that in 2002 had revenues of about $1.9 billion.

Madonna

Almost three decades in the business and while reports suggest her marriage might have hit the rocks of late, there's no denying that Madonna has left an indelible mark on the music scene.
She's now inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and her personal wealth is staggering. She has every reason to be pleased with herself. It'll be a very happy 50th!
