He had contacts in the publishing world and was eagerto help her out. Reluctantly she agreed to let him submit her chapters toLittle, Brown, a publisher she viewed as relatively free from Communistinfluence.At first it looked as if she had struck gold. An editor at the house pronouncedthe chapters “almost genius” and arranged to have dinner withRand. There he probed her political views, assuming she was an anarchist.Rand set him straight: “I was telling him all about what I think ofthe New Deal, why this book is anti–New Deal, why I am for free enterprise,and what passages and what proves it.” 4 It was a significant shift.Only a few years earlier she had been assuring prospective editors thather novel would not be political; now she insisted that her latest literarysuitor recognize its deeper meaning.Rand’s spirits during this period were low. She had completelystopped working on the manuscript, and her work at Paramount furtherdampened her ambitions. Each day as she picked through yet anotherpotboiler that the studio had bought, she moaned to Frank about thetrash that was published while her work remained unnoticed. He was atonce sympathetic, supportive, and suitably outraged, but with a gentletouch that cracked Rand’s despair. “I know how you feel,” he told her.“Here you are throwing pearls and you’re not getting even a porkchopin return.” 5 Rand crowed in delight and gave the line to one of her characters.After Little, Brown passed on the manuscript, Frank rose to theoccasion masterfully. Rand was ready to junk the book entirely. Frankstayed up with her one long, terrible night, urging her to continue, reaffirmingher genius, helping her believe the world was not the cold andhostile place it seemed. That was the night he “saved” the book, earninghis place on the dedication page.Despite her renewed resolve to finish the book, Rand’s primary interestremained the new political organization. She chafed at Pollock’sslowness in lining up converts and cash cows. George Sokolsky, a conservativecolumnist, came onboard at once. By June Pollock and Randhad discovered another important ally, DeWitt Emery. Based in Ohio,Emery owned a small manufacturing company that produced letterhead.A foot soldier of the anti–New Deal forces, he doubled as headof the National Small Business Men’s Association, a lobbying concern.
