Time Magazine 100 list

Zahi Hawass has made it onto the TIME 100 list: " TIME Magazine unveils its annual list of the most influential people in the world over the past year - the TIME 100. The list profiles the lives and ideas of the world's most influential people and is split into five categories: Leaders & Revolutionaries, Builders & Titans, Artists & Entertainers, Heroes & Icons, and Scientists & Thinkers."
See the above press release for the full story.

And here's a response to the listing:
"I asked a bunch of people if these were the 100 people who were most important in their lives this year—and not one of them said yes. I don't know what kind of research Time's editors are doing, but maybe they should get out of the building more. Especially during the hours they have to edit me. But no matter how many times I suggest we focus the Time 100 on the people who actually affect us."
The full commentary is on the above page.
