Could you kindly be a little more specific as to Rearden's infamous speech? I wasn't aware he delivered one in Atlas. John Galt, yes, and perhaps Francisco D'Anconia, but not Rearden.

I stand corrected. Rearden's speech wasn't infamous at all. It didn't even exist! I give credit to Hank for keeping his mouth shut then. A Rand character with the good sense not to drone on is a rare bird indeed.

Actually, Reardon makes a great speech.
