I know who Ayn Rand is (dead Nazi, to as good an approximation as is necessary. Next most significant fact is the location of the grave, for pissing on the plants there.), but John Galt must be some small piece of parochial interest. American? Maybe. Nazi? probably, from context. Anyone with interest in modern Nazism care to elucidate? -- Aidan Karley, FGS Aberdeen, Scotland Written at Fri, 28 Jul 2006 22:56 +0100, but posted later.

Mind you, I suppose it was slightly surreal being offered a copy to read by the only other English speaker on the rig one time. Dostoyevsky won that contest, after I'd finished MacBeth. -- Aidan Karley, FGS Aberdeen, Scotland Written at Sun, 30 Jul 2006 00:01 +0100, but posted later.
