Two charismatic, visionary leaders.
Jack Layton, the down-to-Earth Every Man of Canadian politics, rode a thrilling wave of popularity that brought the New Democratic Party to its first-ever official opposition status.
Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs became synonymous with innovation as the world gobbled up the company’s iPods, iPhones, and iPad tablets.
Two stunning losses: Layton’s death of cancer this week, and Jobs’ departure from the top executive suite at the world’s biggest technology company have left huge voids.
