Had Cheryl Taggert not been murdered would there have been a place for her in Galt's Gulch?

    I have recommended Atlas Shrugged to numerous people and have received varied excuses why they won't read it . The most troubling excuse was stated "Ayn Rand she is the enemy" I no longer have any respect for that person by the way he has never read any of her books.
    Almost as frustrating is the response "I don't read books"

    I read Atlas Shrugged , then Anthem and then The Fountainhead all very recently .
    I feel very fortunate to have found this forum. Many members , including you Michael contribute to my vocabulary as well educating me about Objectivity , who have with curtesy shared their reasoned thoughts and perspective . Thank you.
    Also Thanks for your military service also.

    I wish I had found Ayn Rand in Eight Grade.

    Not to be overly pedantic I read it the first time in 8th Grade or 9th grade and read it once a year. I still find new parts to ponder and consider.

    You are right, My mistake. I thought she was murdered by a social worker that fateful night.
    Have only read AS once just 6 mos ago. I certainly plan on the second time soon.

    Agreed. She rejected and left her mooching uninspired family . She had dreams and aspirations . She was interested in and grateful for the achievements of Taggert Transportation , and Reardon Steel. She held admiration for and recognized the individuals creations as marvels from the mind and felt celebratory for them.

    I thought she committed suicide? If so probably not. If yes. then yes. IMHO. Gulchers never give up and are not weak willed.

    Yes. She was a person whose achievements were all ahead of her. Dagny tried to help her.
