Cindy,
chuckle.
It was so long ago that I read both books, I can't remember. I just remember that I totally agreed with the philosophy expressed in The Fountainhead --and loved the movie-- but I disagreed with that expressed in Atlas Shrugged--but I can't remember why. I was a *lot* younger then, and my opinions might be different now.

Cindy,
Sorry I had to run without making one point that I found fascinating about Atlas.
While Ms. Rand had her goup of leading characters subscribing to a philosophy of total self involvement, John Gault had a watchful eye on Dagne (If I remember the spelling,) throughout the whole book. In fact, now that I think of it, so did that whole group of industrialists.
All I can say is God help anyoone who would have thought of touching her in any way! Not me Coach!
Peace, Ernie
