NYT.

“I subscribed to Arizona Highways,” he said, “and that was loaded with scenery.”
LAT. Neely Tucker’s swell 2008 profile of Leonard for the WP. WP obit. A/V Club.
Amy Alkon knew Leonard, and has a nice tribute up here.
And The Rap Sheet, with a roundup of even more links.
Edited to add: missed this one. Robert Crais, another writer I greatly admire, in the LAT.
