	Boy, sometimes I feel like the "keeper of the libertarian flame" 
around here!  Now, now... let's not throw around words like "fascist" -- 
Rand was educated by the Soviets and was an anticommunist for sure, but 
she was not a fascist.  Sorry... when you write books about the woman, 
you get a little sensitive about these things!   -- Chris
