They were all a pile of drunks from all I have read. Rand had an affair with Nathaniel (I forget his surname) and her husband drank even more but didn't stop it.

The Fountainhead is the only semi-readable book Rand ever wrote. Atlas Shrugged makes a great doorstop.

I thought only lefties hated Atlas Shrugged. It contained after all, a philosophy that completely rebutted and dismantled the arguments in Marx's Communist Manifesto. She was also one of the first people to give a solid MORAL justification for individual freedom and economic liberty...something sorely lacking at the time. But sure, feel free to use the masterpiece as a doorstop. I'm sure Noam Chomsky agrees with you.

Atlas Shrugged makes a great doorstop.

Since you are intellectually challenged try "Sometimes a Great Notion" by Ken Kesey. It is even larger and will make an even better doorstop. Even though it is a masterpiece. But then, you don't know the difference.

You are calling Alan Greenspan a drunk.

"He (Alan Greenspan) never allowed himself to be publicy put on the defensive regarding his friendship with Rand. Whenever the media inquired about their association, he responded in ways that played up her seriousness as a thinker and his earnest debt of gratitude to her. This comment to Newsweek is typical: "When I met Ayn Rand, I was a free enterpriser in the Adam Smith sense, impressed with the theoretical structure and efficiency of markets. What she did was to make me see that capitalism in not only efficient and practical, but also moral."
