Clinton on the bill in Aspen (with luminaries like Albright and Breyer to solve world problems)

ASPEN - Former President Clinton will join Gov. Bill Owens and luminaries from around the world this week in an annual conference that attracts an eclectic mix of leaders to think through thorny global problems. A regular attendee since the conference began two years ago, Clinton will address Fortune magazine's "Brainstorm 2003," a gathering of thinkers and leaders.

Among those attending: former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, heads of state from the Czech Republic and Rwanda, former Texas Gov. Ann Richards and Enron whistleblower Sherron Watkins.

The event takes place Monday through Wednesday at the Aspen Institute and the St. Regis hotel.

The conference is closed to all but the invitees. To find out what happened, you'll have to read about it in a special Fortune edition this fall. Participants are handpicked by Fortune's editors to create lively discussions on pressing issues, said Fortune spokeswoman Carrie Welch.

Like the name suggests, the conference is about brainstorming, not about setting policy, Welch said, although sometimes that happens. And sometimes, she said, the discussions turn out to be eerily prescient. In 2001, talk of global terrorism dominated the conference. That was just five weeks before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Participants have been asked to respond to some heady questions. Is the world getting better or worse? What country will dominate by 2013? How they answer will jump-start discussions on a range of topics, from peacemaking to global epidemics.

They'll tackle those issues in a series of seminars and roundtables. Clinton will again give a presentation, then have an open give-and-take with participants. In another annual mainstay, he'll sit with Fortune's editor and a world leader - this year it's Rwandan President Paul Kagame - to hash out world affairs in a late-night chat over drinks.

This is the first year the magazine is holding the conference jointly with the Aspen Institute, a think tank based in Aspen and Washington, D.C., that specializes in pondering similar questions.

The joint conference was the idea of the institute's new president, Walter Isaacson, said Aspen Institute spokesman James Spiegelman. Isaacson came to the institute after being chairman and chief executive of the CNN News Group, an AOL Time Warner company. He previously had served as editorial director of Time Inc., which also publishes Fortune.

"It's an opportunity for us to advance a dialogue on a very high level on issues of global concern, which is what we're all about," Spiegelman said.

"Clinton on the bill in Aspen (with luminaries like Albright and Breyer to solve world problems)"

Not much of a program then, in fact you might call it (fill in the blank)....

[arasina]

Wow! That's quite a line up!

Now, just look through the window here. Don't worry, they can't see you. Okay. Which one is your attacker?

• The woman on the left who let your country's security against terrorists languish by her stupidity regarding affairs of state?
• The man on the far left who rules over you by his whimsical view of the Constitution?
• The bleached blonde with the scratchy voice who tried to help steal an election?
• How about the one who is trying to stay in the background and has a whistle in her mouth?

  What did you say? Speak up. I can't hear you. You don't have to whisper. The bent one? Which one is that?

  Into microphone: #42, please face forward. No, not left, forward!

  Ohhhh....I see now. Dear, that one was just put in to throw everything off, a phony. He can't be your attacker! Can he?

[arasina]

They just THINK it's the Aspen Institute; it's actually the ASHBIN of History Institute. :o)

Legacy, my ash!

A convention of the morally challenged...

In 2001, talk of global terrorism dominated the conference. That was just five weeks before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Interesting statement for sure.

[astounded]

This will look and sound like the bar scene from Star Wars -Talk about a bunch of misshapen, arrogant turds - none of whom can get a real job in which they come into contact with real Americans. Can't this jerk Clinton fade away gracefully???

Madeline Albright's breakout session "How to Collect Kick-Me Signs In 40 Different Languages" is sure to be very popular.

About FORTUNE/Aspen Institute's Brainstorm 2003

FORTUNE's Brainstorm conference gets underway Monday, July 28 in Aspen. The third-annual conference - held every year in Aspen-is co-hosted this year by the Aspen Institute.

The conference is by invitation only and will bring together over 200 global leaders in government, business, academia, the sciences, technology, the arts, education, entertainment and the non-profit sector to participate in seminars, tutorials, and roundtables. The events will take place at the St. Regis Aspen and on the Aspen Meadows campus of the Aspen Institute.

The aim of the discussions is to gain deeper insight into how we as individuals and leaders can make a difference. Previous participants have included King Abdullah of Jordan, Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, former President Bill Clinton, and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, along with CEOs, renowned scientists, entertainers, and economists. This year the discussions will take up the challenges of our new era of multidimensional and unforeseen consequences, and attempt to anticipate what the next ten years will hold. We will explore the long-term trends shaping the future of business and probe today's most pressing concerns by listening to perspectives we don't encounter in our daily travails.

"...Enron whistleblower Sherron Watkins."

"Whistle-blower"???
Pardon me, but isn't she the one who did no more than to write a couple "CYA" memos, and then drug them out after the fact?

Is she just called a "whistle-blower" because there's no special word for a cowardly @ss-coverer?
Or is it because the feminists are so desperate for a woman hero?
