"Fountainhead" was shown in art theaters late at night for the college students.  Much like the "Rocky Horror Show" in a later generation.  They even had an "Objectivists Society."  Allen Greenspan was a member.  Rand wrote about collectivists verses individualist in all her books.  It was part of the cold war panic.  </p> <p> </p> </div></div></div> Fri, 04 Apr 2014 00:17:02 +0000 trkingmomoe
