Melinda Gates's Style of Giving Is in Vogue

Yes, we're slow in noticing this story, but you do have to enjoy Melinda's Vogue profile for its eye on what matters: "The morning we met she was dressed simply, in a brown suit and pumps.

And no post-feminist criticism here--where Joyce's famous cry was "Non serviam," Vogue reports approvingly: "She was valedictorian at Ursuline Academy, an all-girls Catholic high school whose motto, aptly enough, was Serviam ('I will serve')."
