1. Ayn Rand Institute philosopher Ben Bayer attacks Christianity. While there are things to disagree with, Bayer actually has read some primary sources and doesn’t repeat any of the usual Objectivist urban legends about religion.
2. Harry Binswanger just posted some Objectivist trivia questions. Bonus points if you can name the four U. S. states that Ayn Rand didn’t mention in Atlas Shrugged.
3. The ARI has released Raymond Newman’s interview with Ayn Rand. The interview took place during the end of 1980 (Rand died in March 1982). Rand is a little slow but still sharp.
4. According to the ARI, there are “thousands” of handwritten pages in Rand’s papers that are now being transcribed (later in the article it looks as if the material is roughly 3,000 pages). These include some of her early notes on philosophy. While the Archives have never (best I can tell) provided a complete list of all Rand’s papers, I wouldn’t have gotten the impression from reading the introductions to the posthumously published works that this much material remains to be published.
