You asked for a source: I provided one. A request for an explanation is something else. I'll give you another source instead: http://www2.owen.vanderbilt.edu/Mike.Shor/courses/GTheory/do...
As for $35, it pains me to mention libraries...it was a source, with a link so that you could see something about the book.
I can't say I know of a single public intellectual or professional philosopher who takes Rand seriously. I do know of a well-regarded mathematical logician who does, but this is an aberration.

>I can't say I know of a single public intellectual
Alan Greenspan (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/15/business/15atlas.html).
Clarence Thomas (http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1090180289132).
your new source is basics, not new results. i just wanted an interesting paper on new results to read. those are normally published online.
your ignorance of public intellectuals and professional philosophers is not an argument against Rand. lol.
edit: no online sources? I don't normally pay $35+ because a hostile, anonymous internet commenter said something would refute someone I respect but didn't want to explain the ideas himself.
