Stephen Bohler was a top student, a star athlete and one of the most popular kids in his dorm at New York University (NYU) as of March 2004. The excursion had been Stephen's idea. When Anna poked her head in the door of his room, Stephen grinned the luminous smile that made him one of the most popular freshmen at NYU's Rubin Hall. The deaths shook NYU to its core and the shock only intensified when, one week after Stephen's jump, a third student, sophomore Michelle Gluckman, apparently took her own life, throwing herself from a window of a friend's sixth-floor apartment near Washington Square Park.

John Mayer is picking up serious speed as he cruises down a New York highway in his steel-blue BMW. Mayer's mind never lingers on one thing for very long. Behind his wide brown eyes there is a constant buzz of thought, like the purr of a computer booting and rebooting and rebooting. He talks a lot, and haphazardly, but is rarely less than articulate and often sounds as if he's quoting a lyric he has yet to write down. Released in September, his latest album "Heavier Things," debuted at Number One and has been in the Top Twenty ever since. With record sales sinking in the past couple of years, Mayer and artists such as Norah Jones, who toured with Mayer last year, have been able to attract an unusually broad fan base. Before he picked up guitar, John wanted to be a radio announcer. Maybe it was the booming baritone or the glib delivery, he says.

The article presents an interview with Reverend Al Sharpton. Once labeled a racial polarizer, Sharpton has recast himself as the soul of the Democratic Party. Sharpton paid a visit to "Rolling Stone" to explain why he's running for president and how he fears Democrats are about to blow it again. A decade ago, Sharpton was one of the most hated men in New York, accused by his critics of stoking racial fury and inciting near-riots. But since then, he has mellowed considerably. In mainstreaming his appeal, Sharpton is reaching out across racial lines—speaking not just to the angry nation but to the larger pool of anger that he says is gathering in the traditional left-behind base of the Democratic Party, dispossessed union workers, minorities, homosexuals. In person, Sharpton is a charismatic, galvanic presence. INSET: THE REV. AL'S WILD RIDE.
