Eddie Willers didn’t really have a fate, did he? IIRC he was left standing in the desert by some train wreck, and we never heard from him again. If Cheryl Taggart hadn’t killed herself, they’d have been a well-matched couple.
I thought so too. Rand was brutally hard on her secondary characters. Personally if I was Cherryl I’d have beaten Jim Taggart with a ballbat and sued his sorry butt for divorce. In that order.
