Judgment Day: My Years with Ayn Rand, by Nathaniel Branden (Houghton Mifflin, 436 pp., $21.95)

Ayn Rand’s Objectivist movement effectively came to a sudden end in 1968, when Miss Rand learned that her chief disciple and sometime lover, Nathaniel Branden, was having an affair with a younger disciple. To make matters slightly worse, Mrs. Branden, also an Objectivist insider, had known of the affair and connived in keeping Miss Rand in the dark about it.
