The Times has an article on the centennial of Ayn Rand's birth. While in college, "The Fountainhead" had a pretty big effect on me. I wanted to be Roarke, beset on all sides by mediocrities but letting nothing deter my vision. Rereading it left me pretty cold, however. The characters seemed too cardboard and their motivations too contrived. By the time I got to "Atlas Shrugged", I was tired of reading about her army of tall, cold, brilliant and miserably driven capitalists. Hell, even Rand was addicted to "Charlie's Angels"! But, props must be given.
