TIME Names Bill and Melinda Gates and Bono 'Persons of the Year' as 'Good Samaritans'
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
In December 2005, TIME magazine named Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, and the musician Bono its Persons of the Year, dubbing the trio the 'Good Samaritans' for, in the magazine's words, 'being shrewd about doing good.' The honor recognized their work driving money and attention to fighting malaria, HIV/AIDS, and extreme poverty. It marked a turning point in Gates's public image — from software titan and antitrust villain to one of the world's foremost philanthropists.
