Shocked, shocked :: Fed Reserve head Alan Greenspan, a cultist? "Ayn, this is incredible, 'he blurted out on one occasion.' "No one has ever dramatized what industrial achievement actually means as you have." (quoted in John Cassidy's Dot.con) Um William Blake's "Dark Satantic Mills" perhaps? "Alan Greenspan's name first appeared in the New York Times, not as one might expect, in connection with politics or economics, but as the author of a 73-word letter to the editor of the Times Book Review. The future head of the Federal Reserve wrote to protest a hostile review of Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged that had appeared a few weeks earlier." Bradford Apparently this is old news, but it just sifted down. SO says, "I heard this about 3 months ago and didn't tell you because I knew you'd blow your stack." (I have such illusions about people. I thought most people got over Ayn Rand after about their sophomore year in college.)
