He wrote an article for YAF’s New Guardcriticizing Rand and her associates as “the founders of a new orthodoxy”but also asserted, “The value of Objectivism will stand for alltime.” 20Rand’s attack on the campus clubs was part of her increasing impatiencewith NBI students, whom she now regularly assailed during herquestion-and-answer sessions. The chance to hear from Rand in personhad originally been one of NBI’s greatest draws. In the beginning shewas a regular attendee at the New York classes and occasionally delivereda lecture herself. Although she was normally generous in her responsesto general audiences, NBI students were held to higher standards. Randwas likely to denounce anyone who asked inappropriate or challengingquestions “as a person of low self-esteem” or to have them removedfrom the lecture hall. In front of journalists she called one questioner“a cheap fraud” and told another, “If you don’t know the differencebetween the United States and Russia, you deserve to find out!” Thesewere moments of high drama, with Rand shouting her angry judgmentsto the widespread applause of the audience. But this antagonism towardhis paying customers made Nathan extremely uncomfortable, and hebegan discouraging her from attending lectures. 21Always quick to anger, Rand now erupted regularly. She even beganto clash with Frank. Since that first fateful evening with the Collective,Frank had continued to paint. His work was impressive, and one of hisbest paintings, a gritty yet etherial composition of sky, sun, and suspensionbridge graced the cover of a 1968 reissue of The Fountainhead.But Ayn forbade him to sell his paintings, saying she couldn’t bear topart with any of them. When she offered unsolicited advice about hiswork, he blew up at her. Frank preferred the Art Students League to NBI.He kept a low profile, never telling anyone about his famous wife. Hestood out nonetheless. Before either became fashionable, Frank worea navy blue cape and carried a shoulder strap bag. His fellow studentsdescribed him as “always just very chic, very elegant without overdoingit.” In 1966 they elected him vice president of the League. This voteof confidence came just as Frank’s artistic career was cut short by thedecline of his body. Stricken by a neurological disorder, by the end of1967 his hands shook so badly he could paint no more. 22 Once playfuland witty, Frank now became sharp and snappish. He withdrew to thesanctuary of his studio, where he drank his days away.
