NOTES TO PAGES 227–231<br />
30. B. Branden, The Passion of Ayn Rand, 338.<br />
31. The Objectivist, June 1968, 480. As a point of comparison, National Review had<br />
eighteen thousand subscribers in 1957, the time of Whittaker Chambers’s review of Atlas<br />
Shrugged. From there it grew rapidly, reaching a high of ninety thousand in 1964. John<br />
B. Judis, William F. Buckley, Jr.: Patron Saint of the Conservatives (New York: Simon and<br />
Schuster, 1988), 140, 221. Likewise The New Republic reached a circulation of around one<br />
hundred thousand during the 1960s. Richard H. Pells, The Liberal Mind in a Conservative<br />
Era: American Intellectuals in the 1940s and 1950s (Middletown, CT: Wesleyan University<br />
Press, 1989), 65. In contrast to these two, Rand’s magazines did not accept advertising or<br />
charitable donations and had a far more modest budget. A better comparison might be<br />
with Partisan Review, which never exceeded fi fteen thousand subscribers. Joseph Berger,<br />
“William Phillips, Co-Founder and Soul of Partisan Review, Dies at 94,” New York Times,<br />
September 14, 2002.<br />
32. “Atlas Shrugged,” Valley Morning News (Harlingen, TX), August 1, 1966, ARP<br />
006–04C; “Atlas Shrugged Coming True?,” Orange County Register, February 10, 1963,<br />
C12; Muskegon Manufacturer’s Association, circular letter W-80, June 15, 1962, 3, ARP<br />
006–02D; “Unreasonable Quotas: Oil Import Curbs Are Damaging the National<br />
Interest,” Barron’s, November 27, 1961, 1. Other citations of Rand in Barron’s include<br />
“Graven in Copper,” January 10, 1966, 1; “Shape of Things to Come,” September 9, 1965,<br />
1. Rand’s editorial “What Is Capitalism?” appeared January 3, 1966, 1. Although Barron’s<br />
articles are unsigned, Rand’s presence was likely due to Barron’s longtime editor, Robert<br />
M. Bleiberg, an admirer of Rand and close friend of Alan Greenspan.<br />
33. Honor Tracy, “Here We Go Gathering Nuts,” The New Republic, December 10,<br />
1966, 27–28.<br />
34. Ayn Rand, “The Wreckage of the Consensus,” in Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal,<br />
223, 224.<br />
35. Ibid., 226.<br />
36. Ibid., 230, 232.<br />
37. Rand, “Wreckage of the Consensus,” 235.<br />
38. Objectivist History Project DVD, vol. 2, “The Early Years.”<br />
39. Martin O. Hutchinson, letter to the editor, National Review, May 14, 1982, 520.<br />
Libertarian opposition to the draft is described in Doherty, Radicals for Capitalism.<br />
40. William F. Buckley Jr. to M. Stanton Evans, February 28, 1967, Evans, M. Stanton,<br />
Box 43, William F. Buckley Papers, Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University. Evans was<br />
the author of Revolt on Campus (Chicago: H. Regnery, 1962) and a host of other conservative<br />
books, including the recent controversial defense of Senator Joe McCarthy, Blacklisted<br />
by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight against America’s<br />
Enemies (New York: Crown Forum, 2007). Stanton’s early career is covered in John A.<br />
Andrew III, The Other Side of the Sixties: Young Americans for Freedom and the Rise of<br />
Conservative Politics (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1997), 65, 61–62.<br />
41. M. Stanton Evans, “The Gospel According to Ayn Rand,” National Review,<br />
October 3, 1967, 1067.<br />
42. I discuss Evans’s take on Rand more fully in Jennifer Burns, “Godless Capitalism:<br />
Ayn Rand and the Conservatives,” Modern Intellectual History 1, no. 3 (2004): 1–27.<br />
