About Leonard Peikoff
At the age of 17, Leonard Peikoff was invited to the home of Ayn Rand, the
novelist and Objectivist philosopher. Thus began a friendship that lasted
until her death in 1982. Today, Dr. Peikoff is Rand's legal and intellectual
heir - and the world's foremost authority on Objectivism.
