• • Letters: Ayn Rand’s vision—and critics 
Kevin Powell, Los Angeles Times Atlas Shrugged  | Ayn Rand's epic tome, "Atlas Shrugged," is a relentless 1,100-some pages of excruciating reading, a fitting punishment for any libertarian. I've never come across one of them who has actually read the darn thing. They all say they've read it and even sport the bumper stickers with the opening line, "Who is John Galt?," but none of them has been so masochistic as to have actually read it.   Published: 2012-09-01
