What was the creator of Atlas Shrugged like in her private life and work relationships? Using never-before-published material uncovered in his research for the Ayn Rand Institute's Ayn Rand Oral History Program, Mr. McConnell discusses his interviews with: Ayn Rand's sister, her god-daughter, her long-time cook, her secretary, movie and TV stars, a portrait artist, and other non-Objectivists. Slides and audio inter-view excerpts complement the talk.
