famous people I admire

An ongoing list of people I admire based on talks I've heard them given, either on a C-Span program or the Charlie Rose show or some other talk show:

Leon Kass - President's Council on BioEthics
I first heard him speak when the council released the initial report on cloning.

Jeffrey Sachs - Haven't read "The End of Poverty" yet but intend to - first heard him speak on "Commanding Heights" mini-series on PBS

Muhammed Yunus - Founder of Grameen Bank

Tim O'Reilly - of the O'Reilly computer books
