I definitely remember having a conversation with my English teacher (a big Rand fan) that went something like this:
Me: So Howard Roarke lives for himself, and the only thing that matters is his uncorrupted artistic statement.
Her: Correct.
Me: And Toohey is an altruist who makes buildings that are popular and fill a public need, but aren’t very original.
Her: Correct.
Me: And… Toohey’s the bad guy?
Her: Oh, most definitely.
Me: Huh.
