AS A YOUNG GIRL growing up in England, Jane Goodall fell in love
with a fictional physician who had a a unique talent. “Dr. Dolittle
totally inspired me,” Goodall says of the children’s-book character
who talked to animals. Today it is Goodall who inspires, and not
just as the world’s most famous primatologist and founder of
the Jane Goodall Institute. She also established Roots & Shoots,
the institute’s global environmental program for youth. “I started
meeting young people who felt we had compromised their future
and that there was nothing they could do about it,” says Goodall, 77. “I decided it was terribly impor-
tant to empower them.” Today the program boasts thousands of members, from more than 120
countries, who plant trees and organize conservation campaigns. Says Goodall: “They’re so full of
ideas. You can’t help but be energized by them.” —Fannie Weinstein

tive products that merged
art with technology. The
Macintosh gave way to the
iMac, iPod, i Tunes, iPhone,
and iPad. Even the sleek,
chrome-and-glass Apple
stores reflect Jobs’s obsession with transforming
every user experience into
something sublime. And
transform it he did: In the
weeks following his death,
more than 1 million people
posted tributes, most of
them recalling how Jobs
changed their lives.
Steve changed my life,
too. My kids are iPhone and
iPad addicts—and after my
first Macintosh experience,
I’ve never gone back.
I do go back—in my memory—to those early days
and my front seat in history.
Toward the end of my trip,
Jobs and I had dinner at a
modest Silicon Valley bistro,
where we both ordered
salads. I can’t recall much
of the conversation, but I
do remember that it was
friendly and relaxed—not
another Steve Jobs sales
pitch. The bill came to less
than $15. Instead of putting that paltry amount on
my expense report, I saved
the receipt in my wallet as
a souvenir until it disintegrated many years later.
I wish I still had it.
