...highlighted people from all walks of life and many different professions, but sometimes the truly effective individuals are the celebrities and sports heroes who are seen in the media, often too frequently. They are the role models for young adults and the spokesmen and -women of U.S. corporations. Your list included a few of these people, but not enough to represent the true situation.
