2

7
Madhur Bhandarkar

Benazir Bhutto
My father was the Prime Minister of Pakistan. My grandfather had been in politics, too; however, my own inclination was for a job other than politics. I wanted to be a diplomat, perhaps do some journalism - certainly not politics.
9
Joan Blades
I'm a mediator by training and inclination.
10
Wolf Blitzer
My inclination, as an old-school, classically trained journalist, is not to go with a story unless I have it hard. It's not good enough to say something based on rumors that were flying around.
