To millions of readers and supporters, his views represent the way forward for a sustainable and just future. Twice-named one of Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World”, Special Advisor to two UN Secretary Generals, author of New York Times bestsellers The End of Poverty and Common Wealth, Jeffrey Sachs has also ruffled a few feathers at The World Bank and IMF. But even Sachs’ strongest critics cannot question his sincerity and devotion to making the world a better place. Recently, Adam Panetta sat down with Professor Sachs at The Earth Institute to discuss the Millennium Development Goals and the idea that extreme poverty can be eradicated by 2025.

 

the {warehouse} magazine recently connected with famed paparazzo Ron Galella. Known by many as the Godfather of Paparazzi, he gave us a glimpse into his world and the dynamic business that is the Paparazzo.

Walk through our interview with a new segment called {w}5 - who/what/when/where/why..and sometimes how. Because of our celebrity culture and our seemingly insatiable thirst to know about the private lives of public figures, we decided to ask Mr. Galella about his career and the paparazzi in general.

Muhammad Ali was perhaps the first person to achieve mainstream fame in the early days of the broadcasting age.

“Imagine a world that is completely different.”

At thirty-seven years old, and looking younger, Justin Trudeau is not surprisingly one of the Liberals’ most prominent new stars. Despite coming from an established party and a famous family, Trudeau is the kind of person you can picture having a few drinks and laughs with. There is none of the stuffiness that is often associated with politicians.

But is there substance?

PART 1 OF 2

We're waiting for Justin Trudeau outside a brown, two-storey building on rue Faillon in the northern Montreal neighbourhood of Villeray. It's drizzling and cold. And it's a Sunday morning. I suspect that most people would rather be in bed.

"Did I keep you waiting long?" Trudeau says apologetically, emerging with an assistant from a silver sedan. The interview was scheduled for ten; it's scarcely four minutes past.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau was Canada's first and only superstar politician, but his son's success relies on more than mere renown. It relies on working while others might be relaxing. Justin Trudeau was credited with rolling up his sleeves to earn his victory in the riding of Papineau during last October's general election. In a tough fight, his margin of victory was about 1,200 votes, less than 3% more than his main rival, the popular Vivian Barbot of the Bloc Québécois.
