A hero for Dave Brussat ?

Ayn Rand's name is again causing controversy at the Projo.

    I won't presume to guess Dave Brussat's political orientation. But

    the gentleman columnist may find this  Ann Rand hero at least admirable :

     "  Howard Roark, a brilliantly creative architect, dynamites his own

    building when its design is tampered with by the architectural establishment "

    ( from a Collier's Encyclopedia article on Ayn Rand ).

              I am no fan of Ayn Rand's " virtue of selfishness " political

    philosophy " or her cold hearted godlessness , but it is true that nothing

    great is accomplished without the PASSION of the individual.

                     Could Mr. Brussat identify with this Roark character ?

              I too favor the classical style. That BLUE CROSS building

    downtown is worthy of  Howard Roark's  more impish designs .
