I saw an interesting photo of Leland Stanford on If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger, There'd Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats.

aworks disclaimer: to maintain family and professional harmony, this blog does not explicitly endorse the idea that Mr. Stanford was a "robber baron." I do however agree with the comment about his appetite. Also, the campus still looks great.
