NOTES TO PAGES 227–231
30. B. Branden, The Passion of Ayn Rand, 338.
31. The Objectivist, June 1968, 480. As a point of comparison, National Review had
eighteen thousand subscribers in 1957, the time of Whittaker Chambers’s review of Atlas
Shrugged. From there it grew rapidly, reaching a high of ninety thousand in 1964. John
B. Judis, William F. Buckley, Jr.: Patron Saint of the Conservatives (New York: Simon and
Schuster, 1988), 140, 221. Likewise The New Republic reached a circulation of around one
hundred thousand during the 1960s. Richard H. Pells, The Liberal Mind in a Conservative
Era: American Intellectuals in the 1940s and 1950s (Middletown, CT: Wesleyan University
Press, 1989), 65. In contrast to these two, Rand’s magazines did not accept advertising or
charitable donations and had a far more modest budget. A better comparison might be
with Partisan Review, which never exceeded fi fteen thousand subscribers. Joseph Berger,
“William Phillips, Co-Founder and Soul of Partisan Review, Dies at 94,” New York Times,
September 14, 2002.
32. “Atlas Shrugged,” Valley Morning News (Harlingen, TX), August 1, 1966, ARP
006–04C; “Atlas Shrugged Coming True?,” Orange County Register, February 10, 1963,
C12; Muskegon Manufacturer’s Association, circular letter W-80, June 15, 1962, 3, ARP
006–02D; “Unreasonable Quotas: Oil Import Curbs Are Damaging the National
Interest,” Barron’s, November 27, 1961, 1. Other citations of Rand in Barron’s include
“Graven in Copper,” January 10, 1966, 1; “Shape of Things to Come,” September 9, 1965,
1. Rand’s editorial “What Is Capitalism?” appeared January 3, 1966, 1. Although Barron’s
articles are unsigned, Rand’s presence was likely due to Barron’s longtime editor, Robert
M. Bleiberg, an admirer of Rand and close friend of Alan Greenspan.
33. Honor Tracy, “Here We Go Gathering Nuts,” The New Republic, December 10,
1966, 27–28.
34. Ayn Rand, “The Wreckage of the Consensus,” in Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal,
223, 224.
35. Ibid., 226.
36. Ibid., 230, 232.
37. Rand, “Wreckage of the Consensus,” 235.
38. Objectivist History Project DVD, vol. 2, “The Early Years.”
39. Martin O. Hutchinson, letter to the editor, National Review, May 14, 1982, 520.
Libertarian opposition to the draft is described in Doherty, Radicals for Capitalism.
40. William F. Buckley Jr. to M. Stanton Evans, February 28, 1967, Evans, M. Stanton,
Box 43, William F. Buckley Papers, Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University. Evans was
the author of Revolt on Campus (Chicago: H. Regnery, 1962) and a host of other conservative
books, including the recent controversial defense of Senator Joe McCarthy, Blacklisted
by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight against America’s
Enemies (New York: Crown Forum, 2007). Stanton’s early career is covered in John A.
Andrew III, The Other Side of the Sixties: Young Americans for Freedom and the Rise of
Conservative Politics (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1997), 65, 61–62.
41. M. Stanton Evans, “The Gospel According to Ayn Rand,” National Review,
October 3, 1967, 1067.
42. I discuss Evans’s take on Rand more fully in Jennifer Burns, “Godless Capitalism:
Ayn Rand and the Conservatives,” Modern Intellectual History 1, no. 3 (2004): 1–27.
