Sergey Brin's Story
Mark Malseed's The Story of Sergey Brin is a long look at the Google cofounder. I've not had a chance to review the article in depth, but I believe it takes Sergey's Jewish heritage as a key angle.

Comment on Article About Sergey Brin:
Here's what I think. Sergey and his family have been blessed, but not so much with the money. Sergey still has his independent thinking and frugalness to a good degree. However, please pass on this definition of "evil" to Sergey, as I believe it can be applied to all of us no matter what our background or present condition. The article talks of "compromises" beginning to happen vs the more principled way. This and a need for me to try to "pay it forward" with the awareness that this definition/observation about "evil" has brought me leeds me to humbly offer it.
"Evil is charming and beautiful. It makes you doubt yourself. It asks for one small compromise after another until it whittles you down, and, it functions best when no one believes in it."
— Joan of Arcadia
