Having read Witness and Atlas Shrugged and been a rabid enthusiast for Ayn Rand, my enthusiasm waned after reading Chambers's review of Atlas Shrugged in an early edition of National Review.

I can understand. I accept Ayn Rand for her views on everything but God.

I reject her Atheism. Well, that, and the way she beats some things to death in literary sense.

But I wholly embrace her objectivism. I know. That is hard to do in the face of my Christian beliefs.

It is a hard circle for me to square, in the same way I can’t square the circle that is George Orwell’s views on Socialism.

I just have to live, in both cases, with the dichotomy.
