The May issue of Condé Nast Portfolio names Tuomas Sandholm, professor of computer science, as one of the three most influential academics in the business world- and features Wean Hall 7500 in a slightly surreal photo illustration. The new business publication's first Brilliant Issue showcases 73 people the editors say are changing the way business is done today. The "biggest brains in business" include Google's Larry Page and Sergey Brin, film director Steven Spielberg, GE CEO Jeff Immelt, PayPal cofounder Max Levchin and Oprah Winfrey.
