Yes, Alice Rosenbaum aka Ayn Rand - funny she should deny environment's role in psychological formation. Would she have been such a "Me Me Me, I I I" advocate of self-interest if she had not been raised in Soviet Russia, I wonder...

<Ayn Rand > Aino(the one and only) Remington-Rand, here, from where she picked her first name in her frustration of the freedom of finnish women, some little hope for herself, she is kept in the 100-years-too-late romantisism shelf, with Tarzan on one side (for romantic comfort, out-dated but maybe a date??)

The Myth, poor little Remington thing

Usually one can find something like "the Bride of the Wolf" on the other side of the Tarzan books.
(By Aino Kallas, who also have received some attention in describing how bad it could be when Freud started to treat the "hysteric wifes" of the 1800-s)

However, Aino Kallas had some, actually many, good times with maybe the best of the male poets of those unlucky and frustrating times (in St Petersburg)

Hmm, I thought any serious Ayn-Rand-Fan had done these studies??

Considering the average historical intake of cornflakes, this should be part of the New SAT tests, no??

On the other hand, it illuminates more of the Ayn-dilemma, fountain or syphone syringe, plus Tarzan.

Without getting into that issue of three or five gallons, plus that temperature.

A true tradegy that she did not get any (free, objective, puberty) kids, (and all the more) grand-kids to teach her just some little more, she could have written some good rap.

However, I am sure she is still important in some parts of the world, not just on those Tarzan-cornflakes-shelves.
