 | | Teresa Heinz, no longer the Audrey-Hepburnesque beauty of the ’60s but still attractive as she enters her ’60s (said one newspaper), has been deeply involved in environmental causes for decades. |
 | | The Heinz Endowments, which are really two entities— the Howard Heinz Endowment, established in 1941, and the Vira I. Heinz Endowment, established in 1986—give large grants to people Teresa Heinz knows personally, such as environmentalist architect William McDonough, a family friend who once employed Heinz’s son. |
 | | Heinz herself is quite a veteran: in 1989, she helped stop a highway through the Amazon jungle, and in 1984 she and husband Senator John Heinz created a foundation that paid for causes such as a guide to socially responsible grocery shopping and a public relations firm that recruits Hollywood stars to support environmental efforts. |
