“Over a period of 16 years I have had a number of interviews
with William Henry Gates, but none quite like this. The setting is

man rocking back and forth in his chair could not be mistaken for
anyone else. Other sessions have been characterized by a certain
tension. Will he bear down on you, as one victim says, ‘like a pit
