He
got
up
,
he
stood
,
hands
in
pockets
,
his
face
in
the
light
—
and
she
saw
him
smile
with
the
easy
,
effortless
,
implacable
amusement
of
certainty
.
"
We
’
ve
heard
so
much
about
strikes
,
"
he
said
,
"
and
about
the
dependence
of
the
uncommon
man
upon
the
common
.
We
’
ve
heard
it
shouted
that
the
industrialist
is
a
parasite
,
that
his
workers
support
him
,
create
his
wealth
,
make
his
luxury
possible
—
and
what
would
happen
to
him
if
they
walked
out
?
Very
well
.
I
propose
to
show
to
the
world
who
depends
on
whom
,
who
supports
whom
,
who
is
the
source
of
wealth
,
who
makes
whose
livelihood
possible
and
what
happens
to
whom
when
who
walks
out
.
"
The
windows
were
now
sheets
of
darkness
,
reflecting
the
dots
of
lighted
cigarettes
.
He
picked
a
cigarette
from
a
table
beside
him
,
and
in
the
flare
of
a
match
she
saw
the
brief
sparkle
of
gold
,
the
dollar
sign
,
between
his
fingers
.
"
I
quit
and
joined
him
and
went
on
strike
,
"
said
Hugh
Akston
,
"
because
I
could
not
share
my
profession
with
men
who
claim
that
the
qualification
of
an
intellectual
consists
of
denying
the
existence
of
the
intellect
.
People
would
not
employ
a
plumber
who
’
d
attempt
to
prove
his
professional
excellence
by
asserting
that
there
’
s
no
such
thing
as
plumbing
—
but
,
apparently
,
the
same
standards
of
caution
are
not
considered
necessary
in
regard
to
philosophers
.
I
learned
from
my
own
pupil
,
however
,
that
it
was
I
who
made
this
possible
.
When
thinkers
accept
those
who
deny
the
existence
of
thinking
,
as
fellow
thinkers
of
a
different
school
of
thought
—
it
is
they
who
achieve
the
destruction
of
the
mind
.
They
grant
the
enemy
’
s
basic
premise
,
thus
granting
the
sanction
of
reason
to
formal
dementia
.
A
basic
premise
is
an
absolute
that
permits
no
co
-
operation
with
its
antithesis
and
tolerates
no
tolerance
.
In
the
same
manner
and
for
the
same
reason
as
a
banker
may
not
accept
and
pass
counterfeit
money
,
granting
it
the
sanction
,
honor
and
prestige
of
his
bank
,
just
as
he
may
not
grant
the
counterfeiter
’
s
demand
for
tolerance
of
a
mere
difference
of
opinion
—
so
I
may
not
grant
the
title
of
philosopher
to
Dr
.
Simon
Pritchett
or
compete
with
him
for
the
minds
of
men
.
Dr
.
Pritchett
has
nothing
to
deposit
to
the
account
of
philosophy
,
except
his
declared
intention
to
destroy
it
.
He
seeks
to
cash
in
—
by
means
of
denying
it
—
on
the
power
of
reason
among
men
.
He
seeks
to
stamp
the
mint
-
mark
of
reason
upon
the
plans
of
his
looting
masters
.
He
seeks
to
use
the
prestige
of
philosophy
to
purchase
the
enslavement
of
thought
.
But
that
prestige
is
an
account
which
can
exist
only
so
long
as
I
am
there
to
sign
the
checks
.
Let
him
do
it
without
me
.
Let
him
—
and
those
who
entrust
to
him
their
children
’
s
minds
—
have
exactly
that
which
they
demand
:
a
world
of
intellectuals
without
intellect
and
of
thinkers
who
proclaim
that
they
cannot
think
.
I
am
conceding
it
.
I
am
complying
.
And
when
they
see
the
absolute
reality
of
their
non
-
absolute
world
,
I
will
not
be
there
and
it
will
not
be
I
who
will
pay
the
price
of
their
contradictions
.

Dr

Akston
quit
on
the
principle
of
sound
banking
,
"
said
Midas
Mulligan
.
"
I
quit
on
the
principle
of
love
.
Love
is
the
ultimate
form
of
recognition
one
grants
to
superlative
values
.
It
was
the
Hunsacker
case
that
made
me
quit
—
that
case
when
a
court
of
law
ordered
that
I
honor
,
as
first
right
to
my
depositors
’
funds
,
the
demand
of
those
who
would
offer
proof
that
they
had
no
right
to
demand
it
.
I
was
ordered
to
hand
out
money
earned
by
men
,
to
a
worthless
rotter
whose
only
claim
consisted
of
his
inability
to
earn
it
.
I
was
born
on
a
farm
.
I
knew
the
meaning
of
money
.
I
had
dealt
with
many
men
in
my
life
.
I
had
watched
them
grow
.
I
had
made
my
fortune
by
being
able
to
spot
a
certain
kind
of
man
.
The
kind
who
never
asked
you
for
faith
,
hope
and
charity
,
but
offered
you
facts
,
proof
and
profit
.
Did
you
know
that
I
invested
in
Hank
Rearden
’
s
business
at
the
time
when
he
was
rising
,
when
he
had
just
beaten
his
way
out
of
Minnesota
to
buy
the
steel
mills
in
Pennsylvania
?
Well
,
when
I
looked
at
that
court
order
on
my
desk
,
I
had
a
vision
.
I
saw
a
picture
,
and
I
saw
it
so
clearly
that
it
changed
the
looks
of
everything
for
me
.
I
saw
the
bright
face
and
the
eyes
of
young
Rearden
,
as
he
’
d
been
when
I
’
d
met
him
first
.
I
saw
him
lying
at
the
foot
of
an
altar
,
with
his
blood
running
down
into
the
earth
—
and
what
stood
on
that
altar
was
Lee
Hunsacker
,
with
the
mucus
-
filled
eyes
,
whining
that
he
’
d
never
had
a
chance
.
.
.
It
’
s
strange
how
simple
things
become
,
once
you
see
them
clearly
.
It
wasn
’
t
hard
for
me
to
close
the
bank
and
go
:
I
kept
seeing
,
for
the
first
time
in
my
life
,
what
it
was
that
I
had
lived
for
and
loved
.
