SWING MAGAZINE POWER LIST ARTICLE

Swing Announces Its 1998 '30 Under 30' Power List; From Monica to Master P in the Dec/Jan Issue on Sale Nov. 10
NEW YORK, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Swing, the magazine for people in their twenties, is proud to announce its 5th ``30 under 30'' power list. In its December 1998/January 1999 issue, the editors at Swing profile the most influential and innovative members of their generation.

Meet the people who earned the distinction this year and whose impact will be felt for years to come. They are the notorious and the infamous, moguls and entrepreneurs, executives and ... interns. Certainly, the most controversial person of the year is a 20-something named Monica Lewinsky. But there's also the 29-year-old Dan Keniry, who as the Republican co-chief of staff and director of the House Rules Committee, has a major role in determining the rules of the Lewinsky investigation. And what powerful newspaper editor helps shape the coverage of it all? 29-year-old Susan Glasser, the Deputy National Editor at The Washington Post.

And people in their twenties have growing impact beyond the Beltway: from baseball's already perennial all-star, Seattle Mariner's shortstop Alex Rodriguez to the guys who bring you the most watched show on cable, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of South Park. And who could forget Cameron and Leo (that's Diaz and DiCaprio, of course).

In the young world of technology, meet Sky Dayton, 27, the founder and chairman of Earthlink, the second largest internet service provider in the country after AOL. And who's managing your money? At Fidelity Investments, 28-year-old Erin Sullivan runs the $2 billion emerging growth fund. At the crossroads of business and culture is trendsetter Daymond John, founder and CEO of FUBU (For Us By US), a line of urban streetwear. And finally, there's Master P, master of all trades, who, when he's not acting, producing films or helping kids in need, runs this year's #1 rap label called No Limits -- which could be the motto for all of the young people on our list.

``While there are always dozens of lists at the end of the year, this list shows how much of our culture is shaped and determined by people in their twenties,'' said Swing Editor-in-Chief David Lauren.

Also featured in this issue ... if you think our chief worry about the dawn of the millennium is the Y2K crash, we know an equally important concern is where to celebrate the night of December 31, 1999. In ``Celebration2000'' we offer a travel guide to what's going on all over the world from a camel trek in Tunisia to the Pacific Kingdom of Tonga where you'll be the first to see the sunrise in the year 2000.

This issue marks Swing's fourth anniversary as a national publication and Swing's 40th issue. President/Editor-in-Chief David Lauren, 27, founded Swing in 1990 as an 18-year-old sophomore at Duke University.
