Leonard Gold is a native New Yorker. Gold was born in Brooklyn, NY on July 21, 1919. When Lenny was nine years old he would sometimes sneak into local neighborhood junk yards while they were closed and steal hub caps, then he would re-sell these hub caps back to those junk yards. Eventually Lenny got busted for stealing these hubcaps. His dad called him a gangster and decided to move the entire family to The Bronx, where his dad felt was a good place to raise a gangster. He quickly lost all attraction to crime.

Environmental activists are crying foul at the Obama administration's review of a Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry dirty tar sands crude oil from Canada to Texas, exposing your health and the environment to the risk of oil spills across the United States. These groups claim that as the effects of climate change become increasingly evident, "we cannot afford to allow the further development of tar sands oil production, which results in even more pollution than conventional oil production and threatens our air and water quality."
