Times man of the year I see is Vladimir PUTIN with Al Gore as runner up

TIME feels at home with those old KGB Soviet types. They even call him a "Man of Steel."

led by one steely and determined man

I am amazed he beat out Algore.

"In a year when Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize and green became the new red, white and blue; when the combat in Iraq showed signs of cooling but Baghdad's politicians showed no signs of statesmanship; when China, the rising superpower, juggled its pride in hosting next summer's Olympic Games with its embarrassment at shipping toxic toys around the world; and when J.K. Rowling set millions of minds and hearts on fire with the final volume of her 17-year saga—one nation that had fallen off our mental map, led by one steely and determined man, emerged as a critical linchpin of the 21st century."
