[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full

The Gates Foundation's investments in vaccines, malaria control, and HIV/AIDS were highlighted alongside Bono's ONE campaign and debt-relief advocacy. The unusual triple selection reflected TIME's recognition that philanthropy and cultural influence were converging as tools for global change.
