Rand Together

Interesting article today from Justin Raimondo on his youthful meeting with Ayn Rand. (Conical hat tip to LRC.) I must Randgeekily (not to be confused with Radgeekily) point out, however, that he has confused We the Living’s Andrei Taganov with Leo Kovalensky, and The Fountainhead’s Cortland Homes with the Stoddard Home for Subnormal Children.

(P.S. – Raimondo notes that in his teenage years his “own sense of diplomacy, and basic human interaction, was somewhat retarded as a result” of Rand’s influence. Thank goodness he got over the diplomacy thing!)

    I knew Justin back around 1980. He’s mellowed. A lot. He’s actually a much more diplomatic guy than he was way back then.

    I personally liked him then, and I like him now. But his writing is more mature, better reasoned, and, yes, more diplomatic today than it was in 1980.
