  Leopold Brothers
Leopold Bros. is a family owned and operated small-batch distillery located in a 100 year old renovated brake factory that produces world class liqueurs, flavored whiskeys, vodka and gin.
Master Distiller Todd Leopold personally handcrafts every spirit we produce in a 40 gallon hand-hammered copper pot still that is so small you could literally wrap your arms around it.
This small detail tells you that each spirit Leopold Bros. produces is truly unique and made by an artisanal distiller rather than an industrial giant.

 An Account of the Leopold and Loeb Case
Leopold agreed with Nietzsche's criticism of moral codes, and believed that legal obligations did not apply to those who approached "the superman." Leopold's idea of the superman was his friend and lover, Richard Loeb.
Leopold later wrote that "Loeb's friendship was necessary to me-- terribly necessary" and that his motive, "to the extent that I had one, was to please Dick." For Loeb, the crime was more an escape from the ordinary; an interesting intellectual exercise.

 Profile of Aldo Leopold
Leopold went east for high school, to Lawrenceville School in New Jersey, where his love of the outdoors took a heavy toll on his grades.
The cabin came to be known as "The Shack." For years thereafter, the Leopolds spent their weekends at the Shack, planting thousands upon thousands of trees as they worked to restore the land's health.
Weekends of planting, hiking, and observing nature further sharpened Leopold's thinking about the relationship of people to the land and their moral obligation to take better care of it.

 Patron Saints Index: Saint Leopold Bogdan Mandic
Early in his Capuchin life, Leopold Mandic was asked to surrender his missionary aspirations and personal preference, and to work as Confessor and Spiritual Advisor.
As we all know, Blessed Leopold was "ecumenical" before his time, that is to say he dreamed and looked forward and worked without fuss for the restoration of the perfect unity of the Church which yet jealously respects the manifold ethnic differences within her fold.
May Blessed Leopold strengthen souls eager for spiritual advancement to assiduous frequenting of Confession which some critics, certainly not inspired by mature Christian wisdom, would like to see relegated among the outmoded forms of living, and personal spirituality.

 Media Meltdown: The Jason Leopold Saga
Leopold claims that a Salon editor contacted his source for the email and confronted the source in a belligerent manner, which resulted in the source denying having spoken to Leopold.
Leopold faxed a copy of the email in question to GNN, and as Salon’s editors wrote on MediaNews, it contained no email addresses or headers that would make it easier to verify – it was just a standard Outlook printout.
Leopold protested that his copying of the Financial Times was unintentional, and that his attribution elsewhere in the article to the FT showed that there was no intent to steal another writer’s work.

FILM CRITIC "Kate & Leopold" is a preposterous time-travel romance in which the third Duke of Albany leaves the New York of 1876 and arrives in the New York of Meg Ryan.
It is inevitable that Kate will overcome her lukewarm affection for Stuart and fall in love with the dashing Englishman (even though the first time she sees him in military costume, she thinks he's dressed as Sgt. Pepper).
Leopold's accent and his sincere conviction are perfect, and the spot goes well until he actually tastes the product, and compares it to saddle soap or raw suet: "It's revolting!" Kate tries to calm him: "It's diet.

That's fine, but Mangold spends a good chunk of the rest of the commentary trying to convince us that Leopold's "chivalry, kindness, and manners" are what make Kate — hardened by her urban, fast-paced life — fall for him.
