Let's compile a bunch of questions to tempt gulchers to delve-either re-watch Parts I-III or crack the spine of that beloved piece of life-changing novel. no rules-have fun. You don't have to answer any of the questions-just give points for the ones you think are good-later I will post again and ask for answers. Ready, set, Go!

    The accusation was, "It was blackmail!" A cabbie later thanked her for that little revelation.

    When Dagney became stranded on the frozen train, Pat Logan was the engineer.
    Now, who walked with her to phone for a replacement crew, and who did she leave in charge of the passengers left on the train?

    A better bit of trivia about Joe Scott was that he was drunk as he piloted the coal-burner into the Taggart Tunnel.

    "Brother, you asked for it!" was written across a banner that went over the huge calendar in New York City on September 2nd. He signed it with his full name, Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastián d'Anconia. I mistakenly thought that the AS movie producers would display that banner on 9/2 to hype the movie.

    Though in real life I am more like Quentin Daniels, if I were to perform AS, I would definitely request the part of Floyd Ferris just so that I could get to say that line to Rearden. Yes, I have a twisted mind in some respects.

    I have been fooled before a few times, mostly in items involving charity before I learned this lesson from Ms. Rand.

    This was early in the book when Dagny was building the John Galt Line, and Rearden came to the construction site to survey the progress. He lied to her about returning to NY to avoid the temptation of being alone with her. He didn't trust himself to be faithful to Lillian, because he wanted Dagny. At least that's the way I see it.

    1. That she had been Rearden's mistress, and that she was being blackmailed to make the radio address.
    2. Because she used the past tense in describing their relationship.
