Tolstoy is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all novelists, particularly noted for his masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina; in their scope, breadth and realistic depiction of Russian life, the two books stand at the peak of realistic fiction.

 A Cup of Joe and Leo
He didn't want it turning into a contest, Leo argued with himself.  A small part of him still chafed at the presumption that Leo McGarry's hands held the reigns of Jed Bartlet, and was solely responsible for keeping the president from breaking from the middle of the track to sprint towards the far left.
Leo swung his gaze around to look at Sam.  "What did you say?" he prompted.  A burr sat under his skin, a grain of an idea that was already worrying away at him.
Leo laughed quietly.  There was no way he was getting into something like this.  God, it was the last thing they needed right now.  It was someone else's job, not their problem. ...And he'd be dammed if he was going to pull Sam back from it.

 The Albuquerque Tribune: La Vida
Through Spencer, McGarry was the human gyroscope in "The West Wing" - essentially, a seven-year-long morality play disguised as a show about base instincts, high-minded values and daily life in politics.
Spencer had played reasonable facsimiles of McGarry before - he was the intriguing street lawyer Tommy Mullaney in "L.A. Law" - but in "The West Wing" he came to embody what audiences believed they wanted in a chief of staff (and, later, a vice presidential candidate): toughness, tenderness, ambition, flaws.
The perfection in McGarry, an alcoholic, was that he was so imperfect - and yet believed with all his soul that he could be better.

Last season on "The West Wing", McGarry, President Jeb Bartlet's chief of staff, suffered a heart attack and had to leave his high-profile position.
Spencer's portrayal of McGarry has been one of many outstanding, ongoing performances on the NBC political drama in its seventh and probably final season.
McGarry is the vice-presidential running mate of Democrat Matt Santos (Jimmy Smits), with the election being the key part of the winter and spring episodes on "The West Wing."

Which continued to be the case when, five years after exiting "L.A. Law," he returned to TV as White House chief of staff Leo McGarry, sort of a tough father-figure to the rest of the "The West Wing" staff.
In fact, their differences led to Leo's being replaced as chief of staff early in the sixth season and — in the ultimate irony — suffering a severe heart attack.
As regular viewers of the show know, Leo is not only running for vice president, he's very much involved in running the Santos campaign.

 KRAD's Inaccurate Guide to Life - Leo McGarry, RIP
I have to admit, some of those didn't sound like Leo McGarry memories -- I suspect there was a bit of self-indulgence there and they threw in some John Spencer stories.
Spencer was a great actor, and Leo was the culmination of a magnificent career, and both man and character were among the finest.
It'll need a big deal of story time, that they didn't have time in last night (heck, they didn't have time for NSA girl, and she and Leo had that whatever it was subplot thing together in their backstories).
