 RoR in Florida at Merritt IslandSaturday, July 15, 2006, 6:00 PM Tonight's meeting seeks to fill the mental needs of participants for useful knowledge. Ayn Rand examined the New Left at the height of its hysteria when she wrote The New Left: The Anti-Industrial Revolution. Peter Schwartz updated the second edition with a new title: Return of the Primitive: The Anti-Industrial Revolution. Learn to use this information to unify the spirit, emotions, mind and body of your authentic Self. As usual, we will have dinner at Applebee's following the discussion.

Why did Ayn Rand assign this title to each essay? 2. What is a Putsch? 3. What is the goal of the New Left activists? 4.

Evaluative Questions 1. Do you agree with Ayn Rand that the New Left "is not the vanguard of the future, but the terminal stage of the past?" 2.
