After meeting at a party in 1991, the two played cards and golf, shared jokes, swapped trade secrets, ate junk food, talked and listened. The growing friendship would affect each man and lead to change on a grander scale, culminating in the development of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the largest charitable foundations in the world." -- adapted from jacket Preface -- Warren, meet Bill; Bill, meet Warren -- Getting there -- Business adventures -- Natural monopoly -- Partners -- To have and have not -- Boom! -- All I want is you -- Back to school -- The gift -- Out of the sky -- Brothers at war -- Zero -- Afterword: Just a game.
