Bill Gates in New York

Bill Gates has been busy making the rounds in New York this week, chatting with Bill Clinton on stage at the Clinton Global Initiative on Wednesday, addressing the UN General Assembly yesterday, and sitting down with Tom Brokaw to talk about turmoil in the credit markets and the potential impact of the crisis on the Gates Foundation and corporate philanthropy in general.

The interview is twenty minutes long and worth a look.
