Three cheers for Ayn Rand By Maggie Gallagher

"Atlas Shrugged," Ayn Rand's monumental 1,000-plus-page valentine to the America of her dreams, turns 50 this year.

The occasion has been marked by nerdy paeans to her philosophy, and grudging acknowledgements by sophisticates that Rand's novels may not be so very bad, after all. For the latter ersatz tribute, see, for example, the famous art critic (and my friend) Terry Teachout's essay on Rand at 50 in the current issue of National Review.

Three cheers for Ayn Rand ...
