    For those with an interest in the Feminist Interpretations of ayn rand.  
    http://www.math.uio.no/~thomas/lists/randian-feminism.html
    
    Extractions: Currently on RandFem: Free format discussions. The Randian Feminism (RandFem) mailing list is a forum for people who share a common interest in Feminist philosophy, issues and perspectives, and in Ayn Rand's ideas and philosophy. Feminism from a Randian or Objectivist perspective - and Randianism or Objectivism from a feminist perspective. What are the similarities, what are the differences, and where may the one learn from the other? We aim for insightful discussions in a benign social environment. The idea to create this list was inspired by the publication of the anthology, Feminist Interpretations of Ayn Rand , edited by Mimi Reisel Gladstein , and Chris Matthew Sciabarra , published by Pennsylvania State University Press on February 2nd, 1999. There is a web site about this book at: http://www.nyu.edu/projects/sciabarra/femstart.htm The RandFem list alternates between periods of structured discussion and periods of free format discussions when anyone can raise whatever topic they want for discussion. Currently the list is unmoderated, alternating between free-format discussions and quiet periods.

With all the vision at my command, I scrutinize the planning and production of our motion pictures. It is my firm belief that there is not a Warner Bros. picture that can fairly be judged to be hostile to our country, or communistic in tone or purpose. Mission to Moscow . In my previous appearance before members of this committee, I explained the origin and purposes of Mission to Moscow That picture was made when our country was fighting for its existence, with Russia as one of our allies. It was made to fulfill the same wartime purpose for which we made such other pictures as Air Force This Is the Army Objective Burma Destination Tokyo Action in the North Atlantic , and a great many more. If making Mission to Moscow in 1942 was a subversive activity, then the American Liberty ships which carried food and guns to Russian allies and the American naval vessels which convoyed them were likewise engaged in subversive activities. The picture was made only to help a desperate war effort and not for posterity. . . . Mr. STRIPLING. Well, is it your opinion now, Mr. Warner, that

86. The Rights (and Wrongs) Of Ayn Rand
    An analysis of ethical egoism and its link to individual rights.  
    http://personal.bgsu.edu/~roberth/rand.html
    
    Extractions: The Rights (and Wrongs) of Ayn Rand Robert Bass No thinker, perhaps, has had more influence upon contemporary libertarians than the novelist and non-academic philosopher, Ayn Rand. For that reason alone, her case for libertarian rights deserves attention. Also important is the fact that her arguments are interesting in their own right and have often been misunderstood, misrepresented or ignored. As George Smith has commented, “there has appeared relatively little in the way of competent reflection on Ayn Rand as philosopher. Accounts ... written by [her] admirers are frequently eulogistic and uncritical, whereas accounts written by her antagonists are often hostile and, what is worse, embarrassingly inaccurate.” At least four factors have combined to discourage serious attention to her work by academic philosophers. First, she was prima facie unworthy of attention because her views were developed and expressed not in scholarly treatises but in novels and – later – in articles in which philosophical discussion was fused with cultural commentary and political advocacy. Her writing was often rhetorical and hyperbolic, directed to the mass readership accessible to a best-selling author instead of to the rather more critical audiences of the output of university presses. A second factor leading to neglect was that the particular positions she held – including an uncompromising defense of rational self-interest in ethics and of laissez-faire capitalism – were quite distant from the overwhelming mainstream consensus (when she wrote) in favor of some form of welfare-state liberalism. A further factor which has contributed to neglect of Rand’s ideas is that her arguments are often informal and inductive. They are presented by way of her fiction, and, so far as this is the case, it is left to the reader to judge the psychological and social plausibility of dramatizations of her principles and their alternatives. Finally, and least excusably, Rand invited neglect, contempt, and opposition by employing her considerable rhetorical skills to denounce anyone who disagreed with her and especially “modern philosophers” as evil, corrupt, and irrational

    Extractions: HOME AUTHOR INDEX TITLE INDEX CATEGORY INDEX ... LINKS Ayn Rand (1905-1982) - original name Alice (in some sources Alissa) Rosenbaum Russian-born American writer, whose works combined science fiction with philosophy of laissez-faire capitalism, social Darwinism, and Nietzschean individualism familiar from the books of Mickey Spillane. Rand became a highly visible advocate for the inviolate supremacy of individual rights with her novels THE FOUNTAINHEAD (1943) and ATLAS SHRUGGED (1957). "The genius must have his freedom and his independence," she once wrote. Rand rejected Communism and fascism and fiercy defended a system in which economics have to fit man, not the other way round. "Great men can't be ruled." (from the Fountainhead Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg as the daughter of Fronz Rosenbaum, a chemist, and his wife Anna. She witnessed the Russian Revolution and the social upheaval, during which his father found work only in a Soviet store. At the age of 21 Rand graduated from the University of Petrograd in history with highest honors. After the family's shop was confiscated, they went to Odessa. In 1926 Rand moved to the United States, and took her surname from the typewriter she used, a Remington-Rand. Rand started to study English, working as a junior screenwriter and movie extra for Hollywood between the years 1926 and 1932. Starting as a filing clerk, she became an office head in wardrobe department. Rand wrote screenplays for Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. In 1934-35 in New York she was a free-lance script reader for RKO Pictures, then for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. In Hollywood she also met Frank O'Connor, an actor, whom she married. Rand's first novel, WE THE LIVING appeared in 1936, but her breakthrough work was courtroom play NIGHT OF THE JANUARY 16th (1934), where the audience was asked to determine the verdict.

93. Individualist Voice - Libertarianism
    An objectivist/randian criticism of nihilist and anarchist elements of libertarianism, and of the moralizing elements of the ayn rand Institute.  
    http://www.individualistvoice.com/libertarianism.html
    
    Extractions: "Libertarianism" has driven a wedge through organized Objectivism, dividing it into two disparate camps. On one side of the rift are those who openly embrace libertarianism. On the other are those who denounce libertarianism as "an evil doctrine." Which side in this debate should a rational person favor? If objectivity is the guide, the answer is neither Organized Objectivism's False Dichotomy The "official" Objectivist movement is led by the self-proclaimed intellectual heir of Ayn Rand, Leonard Peikoff, and his cohorts at the Ayn Rand Institute (ARI) . The view of libertarianism as inherently evil was not articulated by Ayn Rand herself, but by ARI Chairman of the Board Peter Schwartz in his article "Libertarianism: the Perversion of Liberty" (republished in The Voice of Reason: Essays in Objectivist Thought According to Schwartz, there is no need to judge libertarians on an individual basis because, he alleges, evil is "inherent" in libertarianism itself. Viewing the ARI hierarchy's attacks on libertarians as tantamount to "the behavior of religious zealots," former ARI scholar David Kelley, who was formally denounced by Peikoff in 1989 for speaking to a group of libertarians, strives to promote a more open and "tolerant" brand of Objectivism (see

98. Ayn Rand: A Sense Of Life . The Boston Phoenix . 04-06-98
    Review by Nicholas Patterson says that this is less a documentary than a 145minute panegyric to the author/philosopher.  
    http://www.filmvault.com/filmvault/boston/a/aynrandasenseofli1.html
    
    Extractions: For a film about the founder of Objectivism, Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life is not very objective. Less a documentary than a 145-minute panegyric to the author/philosopher, the movie plays as a long testament to the triumph of Ayn Rand's will. Writer/director Michael Paxton tries to illustrate the artist's ideas, to portray her sense of life. Unfortunately, only half a picture emerges. There are lots of interviews with friends and admirers but none with critics. Opposition to her ideas is blamed on the prejudices of liberals and Communists. Questionable actions by Ms. Rand, such as testifying as a friendly witness before the House Un-American Activities Committee and writing a pamphlet against Communist screenwriting, are brushed over. The best parts of the documentary are excerpts of television interviews with Ms. Rand: the author comes across as a provocative thinker who was eager to address criticism. Too bad Paxton didn't take a similar attitude in this documentary. Nicholas Patterson Full Length Reviews

    Extractions: R E L A T E D T O P I C S Youth and Education T H E A U T H O R Paul Varnell By Paul Varnell Ayn Rand's work enjoys surprising popularity among gay youth. The author explores why. A WELL-INFORMED FRIEND asked me recently why Ayn Rand is so popular among young gays and lesbians. He assured me that he keeps running into young gay Rand fans in social circumstances and on the Internet. Just recently a gay man visiting his home page told him he should read Ayn Rand. I had not thought much about it before, but it seems reasonable that a writer who stresses individuality, trusting your own perceptions and confidence in your ability to achieve against the odds would be popular among young gays who might feel particularly assaulted by social pressures contrary to their own deepest feelings. Some background here. Ayn Rand (1905-1982) was a novelist and philosopher best known for three remarkable, long novels:
