Summary/Abstract: There’s an old idiom invoked to convey the exceptional uniqueness of certain individuals: “They broke the mold when they made him.” That idiom might be applied to Walter Block - but it would understate the case rather severely. If the rest of us were fashioned in molds, Walter was perhaps spun in a cotton candy machine out of light, heat, and generous spirit.
