It
is
true
that
I
share
the
stand
of
Hank
Rearden
.
His
political
convictions
are
mine
.
You
have
heard
him
denounced
in
the
past
as
a
reactionary
who
opposed
every
step
,
measure
,
slogan
and
premise
of
the
present
system
.
Now
you
hear
him
praised
as
our
greatest
industrialist
,
whose
judgment
on
the
value
of
economic
policies
may
safely
be
trusted
.
It
is
true
.
You
may
trust
his
judgment
.
If
you
are
now
beginning
to
fear
that
you
are
in
the
power
of
an
irresponsible
evil
,
that
the
country
is
collapsing
and
that
you
will
soon
be
left
to
starve
—
consider
the
views
of
our
ablest
industrialist
,
who
knows
what
conditions
are
necessary
to
make
production
possible
and
to
permit
a
country
to
survive
.
Consider
all
that
you
know
about
his
views
.
At
such
times
as
he
was
able
to
speak
,
you
have
heard
him
tell
you
that
this
government
’
s
policies
were
leading
you
to
enslavement
and
destruction
.
Yet
he
did
not
denounce
the
final
climax
of
these
policies
—
Directive
10
-
289
.
You
have
heard
him
fighting
for
his
rights
—
his
and
yours
—
for
his
independence
,
for
his
property
.
Yet
he
did
not
fight
Directive
10
-
289
.
He
signed
voluntarily
,
so
you
have
been
told
,
the
Gift
Certificate
that
surrendered
Rearden
Metal
to
his
enemies
.
He
signed
the
one
paper
which
,
by
all
of
his
previous
record
,
you
had
expected
him
to
fight
to
the
death
.
What
could
this
mean
—
you
have
constantly
been
told
—
unless
it
meant
that
even
he
recognized
the
necessity
of
Directive
10
-
289
and
sacrificed
his
personal
interests
for
the
sake
of
the
country
?
Judge
his
views
by
the
motive
of
that
action
,
you
have
constantly
been
told
.
And
with
this
I
agree
unreservedly
:
judge
his
views
by
the
motive
of
that
action
.
And
—
for
whatever
value
you
attach
to
my
opinion
and
to
any
warning
I
may
give
you
—
judge
my
views
also
by
the
motive
of
that
action
,
because
his
convictions
are
mine
.
"
For
two
years
,
I
had
been
Hank
Rearden
’
s
mistress
.
Let
there
be
no
misunderstanding
about
it
:
I
am
saying
this
,
not
as
a
shameful
confession
,
but
with
the
highest
sense
of
pride
.
I
had
been
his
mistress
.
I
had
slept
with
him
,
in
his
bed
,
in
his
arms
.
There
is
nothing
anyone
might
now
say
to
you
about
me
,
which
I
will
not
tell
you
first
.
It
will
be
useless
to
defame
me
—
I
know
the
nature
of
the
accusations
and
I
will
state
them
to
you
myself
.
Did
I
feel
a
physical
desire
for
him
?
I
did
.
Was
I
moved
by
a
passion
of
my
body
?
I
was
.
Have
I
experienced
the
most
violent
form
of
sensual
pleasure
?
I
have
.
If
this
now
makes
me
a
disgraced
woman
in
your
eyes
—
let
your
estimate
be
your
own
concern
.
I
will
stand
on
mine
.
"
Bertram
Scudder
was
staring
at
her
;
this
was
not
the
speech
he
had
expected
and
he
felt
,
in
dim
panic
,
that
it
was
not
proper
to
let
it
continue
,
but
she
was
the
special
guest
whom
the
Washington
rulers
had
ordered
him
to
treat
cautiously
;
he
could
not
be
certain
whether
he
was
now
supposed
to
interrupt
her
or
not
;
besides
,
he
enjoyed
hearing
this
sort
of
story
.
In
the
audience
booth
,
James
Taggart
and
Lillian
Rearden
sat
frozen
,
like
animals
paralyzed
by
the
headlight
of
a
train
rushing
down
upon
them
;
they
were
the
only
ones
present
who
knew
the
connection
between
the
words
they
were
hearing
and
the
theme
of
the
broadcast
;
it
was
too
late
for
them
to
move
;
they
dared
not
assume
the
responsibility
of
a
movement
or
of
whatever
was
to
follow
.
In
the
control
room
,
a
young
intellectual
of
Chick
Morrison
’
s
staff
stood
ready
to
cut
the
broadcast
off
the
air
in
case
of
trouble
,
but
he
saw
no
political
significance
in
the
speech
he
was
hearing
,
no
element
he
could
construe
as
dangerous
to
his
masters
.
He
was
accustomed
to
hearing
speeches
extorted
by
unknown
pressure
from
unwilling
victims
,
and
he
concluded
that
this
was
the
case
of
a
reactionary
forced
to
confess
a
scandal
and
that
,
therefore
,
the
speech
had
,
perhaps
,
some
political
value
;
besides
,
he
was
curious
to
hear
it
.
"
I
am
proud
that
he
had
chosen
me
to
give
him
pleasure
and
that
it
was
he
who
had
been
my
choice
.
It
was
not
—
as
it
is
for
most
of
you
—
an
act
of
casual
indulgence
and
mutual
contempt
.
It
was
the
ultimate
form
of
our
admiration
for
each
other
,
with
full
knowledge
of
the
values
by
which
we
made
our
choice
.
We
are
those
who
do
not
disconnect
the
values
of
their
minds
from
the
actions
of
their
bodies
,
those
who
do
not
leave
their
values
to
empty
dreams
,
but
bring
them
into
existence
,
those
who
give
material
form
to
thoughts
,
and
reality
to
values
—
those
who
make
steel
,
railroads
and
happiness
.
And
to
such
among
you
who
hate
the
thought
of
human
joy
,
who
wish
to
see
men
’
s
life
as
chronic
suffering
and
failure
,
who
wish
men
to
apologize
for
happiness
—
or
for
success
,
or
ability
,
or
achievement
,
or
wealth
—
to
such
among
you
,
I
am
now
saying
:
I
wanted
him
,
I
had
him
,
I
was
happy
,
I
had
known
joy
,
a
pure
,
full
,
guiltless
joy
,
the
joy
you
dread
to
hear
confessed
by
any
human
being
,
the
joy
of
which
your
only
knowledge
is
in
your
hatred
for
those
who
are
worthy
of
reaching
it
.
Well
,
hate
me
,
then
—
because
I
reached
it
!
