WIDE ANGLE
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, the two richest men in America, are close friends. Though a generation apart in age and founders of two very different businesses, the two have deep admiration and affection for each other. They also share a common sense of responsibility to aggressively use their wealth to improve the world. Gates favors health, while Buffett focuses on nuclear disarmament. Occasionally, they get together with members of the "next generation" of business leaders to answer their questions. On September 30, the two men spent the day at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, where they filled the Lied Center with students and faculty from the College of Business Administration. This high-definition program captures the energy, intelligence and humor of the event.
