WatchingNathan’s lectures fill, Rand began to believe she might yet make animpact on the culture. 1 Roused from her despair, she began once moreto write. In 1961 she published her first work of nonfiction, For the NewIntellectual, and in 1962 launched her own monthly periodical, TheObjectivist Newsletter. Over the course of the decade she reprinted articlesfrom the newsletter and speeches she had given in two more books,The Virtue of Selfishness and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. Althoughshe occasionally talked of a fourth novel, Rand had abandoned fictionfor good. Instead she reinvented herself as a public intellectual. Gonewere the allegorical stories, the dramatic heroes and heroines, the thinlycoded references to real politicians, intellectuals, and events. In TheObjectivist Newsletter Rand named names and pointed fingers, injectingherself directly into the hottest political issues of the day. Through herspeeches and articles she elaborated on the ethical, political, and artisticsides of Objectivism.Rand’s ideas were particularly attractive to a new generation of campusconservatives, who saw rebellion against a stifling liberal consensusas a basic part of their identity. Unlike older conservatives, manyright-leaning college students were untroubled by her atheism, or evenattracted to it. As Rand’s followers drew together in campus conservativegroups, Ayn Rand clubs, and NBI classes, her ideas became a distinctstream of conservative youth culture. Through her essays on government,politics, and capitalism Rand herself encouraged the politicizationof her work. In 1963 she even endorsed a new Republican on thescene, Barry Goldwater, a move that situated her as the leader of a growingpolitical and intellectual movement. 2189
