Harvard libertarians also split with Ergo over its frequent sallies beyond the realm of politics. "Randians are too moralistic. They believe in absolute standards--Rand's absolute standards--and sometimes they get a little too strident," Donal Rucker '78, a member of the Sons of Liberty, says. In the thousands of pages Rand has written, she carries her philosophy of "rational self-interest, egoism,. individualism, and capitalism" beyond its obvious application to social structure, into fields like art and personal conduct.

Such aberrations in social behavior, because they so unjustly harm the innocent, often inspire potent works of art depicting the struggle of the helpless individual against the demonic forces of the prosecution. The theme is tailor-made for exciting, socially significant theatre and cinema. When done well, the result is a deeply moving classic of the modern stage like...

While pollees reported more frequent meetings and dinner-time conversations with their tutors--a key aspect of the study's analysis of House atmosphere--most students said they see the tutors more as personal friends than as academic or career advisors...
