Concerning Mr. Leonard Peltier.

Leonard Susskind My friend Richard Feynman

So thank you, Leonard Cohen, for saving my life.

The deprivation of Mr. Leonard Peltier is not arbitrary.

I was using my iPod to play the Leonard Cohen song 'I'm Your Man' for my doctors and nurses.

At any rate, at one point my brother in law, Leonard, decided to write a book about a serial killer.

You'd think you'd be singing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah out in the majesty of the ocean, not songs about heroin addiction in New York City.

What's it like to be pals with a genius? Onstage at TEDxCaltech, physicist Leonard Susskind spins a few stories about his friendship with the legendary Richard Feynman, discussing his unconventional approach to problems both serious and ... less so.

Now, if any of you have ever heard of AIM, the American Indian Movement, or of Russell Means, or Leonard Peltier, or of the stand off at Oglala, then you know that Pine Ridge is ground zero for Native issues in the U.S.

According to the information received, Mr. Leonard Peltier, born on 12 September 1944, Native American (Chippewa, Lakota), leader and advocate of the American Indian Movement (AIM), was reportedly arrested on 7 February 1976 at Smallboy's Camp, Alberta, Canada, by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and immediately extradited to the United States.

I am of course quoting from a famous essay by Leonard Read, the economist in the 1950s, called I, Pencil in which he wrote about how a pencil came to be made, and how nobody knows even how to make a pencil, because the people who assemble it don't know how to mine graphite, and they don't know how to fell trees and that kind of thing.
