- ‘Atlas Shrugged’: From Fiction to Fact in 52 Years – From the article: "Many of us who know Rand's work have noticed that with each passing week, and with each successive bailout plan and economic-stimulus scheme out of Washington, our current politicians are committing the very acts of economic lunacy that "Atlas Shrugged" parodied in 1957, when this 1,000-page novel was first published and became an instant hit." Read it and weep. On WSJ.com.
