Vanity Fair’s Cover Story Goes to Press
By Amy Argetsinger & Roxanne Roberts

It took the combined efforts of Bono and Karl Rove to get President Bush on the cover of Vanity Fair. No small feat, given how critical the magazine has been of . . . well, just about everything about his administration. Guest editor Bono assembled an all-star cast including Bush and Condoleezza Rice for the cover -- actually, 20 different covers -- of the July issue on Africa, which hits newsstands later this week.

The idea was to create a visual chain of VIPs like Muhammad Ali, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Barack Obama, George Clooney, Madonna, Brad Pitt and Desmond Tutu -- all linked by their common interest in the continent; the U2 rocker-activist worked personally with Rove to snag Dubya. "Bono's choice, not mine, as you might imagine," writes VF Editor Graydon Carter in the magazine. "He gives the commander in chief high marks on his Africa policies."

Bush and Rice, who last appeared on the magazine in 2002, were photographed together in D.C. by Annie Leibovitz two months ago. The other super-busy, globe-trotting celebs? Since each appears on two covers, their portraits had to be Photoshopped together. "These are more photo illustrations than photographs," says Leibovitz, "but the point was to unite people for a common purpose."

Fortune’s Favorites Are Portfolio Defectors

On the afternoon of June 1, Fortune managing editor Andy Serwer met with Hewlett-Packard chief executive Mark Hurd to discuss the company’s latest ventures, as he does with a lot of captains of industry.

But Mr. Serwer, by his account, couldn’t resist mentioning Fortune’s most recent issue, which delves back into the H.P. pretexting scandal.

The cover reads: “Uh-Oh! Another Bizarre Legal Battle at HP.” “Mr. Hurd said, ‘I didn’t like it at all. I didn’t think it was the kind of thing that Fortune does,’” recalled Mr. Serwer, a few minutes after the technology executive left the 15th floor of the Time-Life Building.

Nantucket Gets Atlantic Monthly TV Show

Last year, after roughly a century and a half in Boston, The Atlantic Monthly moved its headquarters to Washington, D.C. But despite the southern decampment, the Atlantic movers and shakers have recently been maneuvering to reclaim at least one perk of life in New England: summers on Nantucket.

To wit: The Atlantic is on the verge of finalizing a partnership with Plum TV, which will kick off in mid-July with a televised morning show on Nantucket and continue through the summer with author readings, salons and literary events.

“Among other things, The Atlantic is going to compile a summer reading list,” explained Jage Toba, director of network programming for Plum TV.

Upper East Side apartment available for sublet or rent starting July 1st. It's a 2-BDR walk-up on E. 91st, and the rent is $750-$800 (negotiable upon seeing the space).

You'd share the apartment with the current tenant, whose roommate is moving out July 1st, and needs a subletter.
