TITANS

They've changed the way we shop, read, and love. From Arianna to Zuckerberg, The Newsweek Daily Beast Digital Power Index ranks the titans reinventing our world. Explore the list!

EGYPT

Egypt has a winner. Questions about the United States’ relationship with the country remain, however, after Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi was named Egypt’s new president Sunday. “Sure we’ll deal with them. They’re freely elected,” a senior American diplomat told The Wall Street Journal, but questions about military and intelligence ties to the country—including the $1.3 billion in military aid provided by the U.S.—will be worked out over time. “It’s scary what the region could look like in a year,” an Arab official told reporters. “You could have one bloc of the Muslim Brothers and the others close to Iran.”

VOLUNTEERS

The banners were rainbow, but the politics were blue. Obama campaigners spent the weekend outdoors at more than a dozen major gay-pride events held in cities nationwide. The president’s reelection efforts hope to tap the pool of gay voters who typically support Democrats 3 to 1 over Republicans and who seem more likely than ever to tilt for Obama this year after he announced his personal support for same-sex marriage. “It’s like shooting fish in a barrel this year,” said Democratic consultant Steve Elmendorf. “I think people are just tremendously grateful.” Three hundred Obama campaigners marched in Chicago’s gay-pride parade Sunday.

CAPTURED

Police in India have arrested a man they say is responsible for planning the brutal 2008 attacks that left 165 dead in Mumbai. Abu Hamza, who was allegedly the handler for the 10 gunmen who mounted the attacks in Mumbai, was turned over to police in Delhi, officials said Monday. The 30-year-old Hamza, also known as Syed Zabiuddin, was arrested Thursday while returning from a trip to the Middle East. He allegedly coordinated the movements of the gunmen in Mumbai by cellphone as they tore through the city, attacking hotels, a Jewish cultural center, and a train station, among other targets.

WINNING

Hollywood’s enfant terrible is back with a new show, Anger Management—but he’s still unhinged, unchanged, and unrepentant. In Newsweek, Michael Ware reports from the eye of the storm.
