The Fountainhead - Rand's Friendship With Gail Winant

There certainly is a lot of the fountainhead that reflects Rand's friendship with Patterson. She was trying to recruit people not to into like an organized union or something but just to contact thinkers and artists and scholars who could mount an intellectual case for liberty. In her novel Never Ask the End Patterson describes the America she knew when she was young as Atlantis. And I strongly suspect that Rand when writing out a Shrugged she uses the term Atlantis to describe the place where capitalists of the world go to hide during their strike.
