Yes. I read a biography of Ayn Rand (albeit in a magazine article "Vogue", I believe.)

She had a young man, lover, whom she betrayed and abused, both verbally and physichaly. (My spelling is terrible, forgive me.) She was married before to an older man whom she betrayed with her dalliances.

Ayn was a very plain (being charitable) woman who nevertheless married a handosme B-actor and carried on an affair with Nathaniel Branden a successful psychiatrist. Both betrayed their spouses (Frank O'Connor died an alcoholic over the affair and Barbara Branden, herself very beautiful, lost her husband to Ayn and several "trophies.")

Ayn and her circle (including now Fed Chairmain Alan Greenspan) was a remarkable group pf super-intelligent and successful people. To see Ayn, one would not describe her as anything approaching attracive. Yet to hear her speak and promote her ideas, even with a thick Russian accent, virtually transformed her into a mesmorizing siren that two men fell hard for.

In that way, she was very much like Napoleon, who, though plain and unimposing in appearance, could rein over even the strong-willed with the force of his personality and undeniable intellect.

I've sometimes wondered, when reading about these two, if someohow Ayn were not the the grand or great-grandaughter of some Russian woman Napoleon may have bedded during his campaign in Russia. Probably not, but it's fun to speculate about...

None of this supports your first statement which I believe to be a fabrication and a lie....................

"Ayn Rand was an alchoholic nutbag."

Are you a liar? Or do you just fabricate things in your Posts?

PS. I find your Posts neither 'provacative' nor 'educational'.
