Thoughts on Petschauer’s “Some Thoughts on Ayn Rand” Article

letter to the editor

Intro

In Peter Petschauer’s “Some Thoughts on Ayn Rand,” a simple answer to Alisa Rosenbaum’s choice of Ayn Rand may be “Rand” as in the German “Am Rand leben” (living at the border”) and “Ayn” the Yiddish pronunciation of the German “Ein” meaning one. The name would thus mean “One who exists at the border (of life).”
