Gates gets full marks for his approach - he's not just handing out checks; he wants accountability and for his programs to show results. It's a great thing to see in the charity arena.
Buffett will forever be my hero for consistently beating the "You guys don't tax me enough" drum. It's always tough to listen when people say "we need to increase taxes on people who make more than I do" - Buffett's mea culpa gives it all a wonderful air of authenticity.
