Ed,

You say that this interview was in the Summer 2010 issue of The New Individualist. I've been trying to find this issue, and I haven't been able to. I went to the Atlas Society website, which has a list of all past issues, and it isn't among them. For 2010, there's a Spring issue and a Fall/Winter issue, but no Summer issue. Could the interview you cited be in a different issue or in a different magazine?

Bill,

The interview -- conducted by William R. Thomas -- is in a later issue (not yet posted online):

The New Individualist (A publication of The Atlas Society)
Summer 2010
Volume 5, Nos. 12-14

My favorite quote from the interview is this:

Heller: ... Rand said everything better than anyone else ...

Ed,

Since the Fall/Winter 2010 issue is already out, that must mean that the Summer 2010 issue follows the Fall/Winter 2010 issue. You'd think it would be just the opposite. But I now see, from the Atlas Society website, that the Fall/Winter 2010 issue covers late 2009 and early 2010, even though the print issue does not mention 2009 and says only Fall/Winter 2010. This sequence is also confirmed by the fact that the current issue is Spring 2010, so of course the Summer issue must follow.

I take it that you get the print issue, and that you just received it. I subscribe as well, and have not yet received mine. So I should be getting it shortly.

Bill,

I get the print issue.

While it doesn't say in the interview, I wish I knew how Heller's view of Rand's importance differs from the Brandens'. Does Heller think Rand is more important or less important than they do? Also, how does Heller's view of Rand's character differ from the Brandens'? Does Heller hold Rand in higher, or in lower, esteem?

Here is where we discuss William R. Thomas elicitation of Anne Heller's views of Nathaniel Branden's  and Barbara Branden's perhaps shared perceptions of Ayn Rand's observations. 

... sort of taking a poll among the guests ...
