Dan Rather has been a broadcast journalism staple since starting his career over half a century ago. He anchored the CBS Evening News for 24 years and, at one time, simultaneously held the top job at three national news programs. His 'gets' have been the world's most important and compelling figures, including two with Saddam Hussein. Rather has received numerous Emmys and a Peabody. He soon launches Dan Rather Reports, serving as managing editor and anchor, on the new HDNet cable channel.

Carly Fiorina
Carly Fiorina says business is still an old boys' club.
At age 23, Carly Fiorina was a law school dropout who had no idea what to do with her life. By age 52, she had been named among the world's most powerful business leaders by many publications, including Forbes and Fortune. Fiorina joined Hewlett-Packard as CEO after 20 years at AT&T and Lucent Technologies, where she held senior leadership posts. Following her very public ouster from HP, she remains on the top 10 list of women in business. She chronicles her experiences in her memoir, Tough Choices.
