As I stated up the thread, Whittaker Chambers was instrumental in Alger Hiss being sent to prison. People change. Harold Ickes father was an operator in FDR's cabinet and a fellow traveler of Hiss'. It was the beginning of the route of the commies in the cabinet.

Chambers is a true American hero. He was outed as a closet bisexual at tremendous cost to him and his family. He was marked for death, ala Arkanside, but stuck to his guns and did the right thing.

I suppose my point, obscure as it was, was Rand's book, We The Living, was a hugely powerful anti-communist indictment. It was the hardest book that I have ever finished, and I doubt that I could ever read it again. It is brutal. I suggest that anyone who ever favored commie policies would find this book quite offensive and color any future works by the author.
