Who is Ayn Rand? 04 Jun 2010 Charles Murray A review of Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right, by Jennifer Burns and Ayn Rand and the World She Made, by Anne C. Heller
The Atlantic Wire has a fascinating overview of the Ayn Rand revival entitled "Going, Going...Galt" which includes a fine round-up of links to recent media coverage of Rand.
The Wall Street Journal picked up on Reason's month-long fete of Rand with an article entitled "Ayn Rand on the Economic Crisis: The Objectivist philosopher forecasted today's government "stimulus."
And, then, there is the rather charming piece entitled "Oh, you meant that Ayn Rand" by Tom Ford in the Winnepeg Free Press, which opens, "Long ago, when she was visiting Toronto, my boss, Nathan Cohen, entertainment editor of the Toronto Star and Canada's leading theatre critic, sent me out to interview her. For some reason, I thought I was going to talk to Sally Ann Rand, the famous stripper. I assiduously studied how she was able to take off her clothes in a giant, plastic martini glass. Then, I walked into a hotel room to discover the other Rand."
