Entry: The Day I Met Ayn Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_day_i_met_ayn#20275 Post contents: Back in the 60's I took a bus 60 miles to San Francisco to attend my first Objectivist lecture given by Ayn Rand. When I got to the Mechanics' Library I was informed that the lecture would be given by Nathaniel Branden instead. After waiting several hours - I got a great seat! - a small 6" X 9" tape recorder was placed upon the podium, its play button was pushed, and the audience was in rapture for the next 15 minutes until the tape had to be turned over. Decades later I did hear Mr. Branden speak in person. During the Q&A;session, I asked him about Rand's sense of humor; his response: "That is not a serious question. Next." Now, I think I'd prefer the tape. Sent at: 2008 05 16
