How the jackpot Alibaba deal went down on a casual beach stroll, and what Yang plans to do next as the Valley's new power broker to Asia.
Also, "Long-Ago Twist Yields Ballmer a Fortune in Microsoft Stock" How did Steve Ballmer acquire enough Microsoft stock to be near the top of The Forbes 400 list? The full story is quirkier than what appears in most Microsoft histories.
Next this related story, "Gone from Microsoft, Ballmer Begins a Surprising Second Act" Its not his job anymore to cheer-lead for Windows, Bing, or a host of other Microsoft efforts. Now, ex-CEO Steve Ballmer is on to the next thing and trying to pull off the biggest relaunch of his career: himself.

Then, "Gilbertville: a Billionaire's Drive to Rebuild the Motor City" Over the past four years, Dan Gilbert has become one of Detroit's single-largest commercial landowners. But while the billionaire owner of Quicken Loans has attracted a fair amount of attention for his efforts, the most brilliantand riskypart of the story is far less known.
Followed by, "Roosevelts versus Plutocrats" The new PBS series The Roosevelts supplies 14 hours on the presidencies and eras of Theodore Roosevelt and his cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt. But the series fails to address two key points about their policies, and about the role of government.
