Ayn Rand (1905-82 CE)
Ayn Rand Institute (A rather messy and irritating site for those using text-based browsers, and the last time I checked [25 xii 04] it had problems for a graphics-based browser too.) Those outside North America might be puzzled at this name; she's something of a cult figure in the U.S., though it's difficult for the non-believer to see why. This site is huge, and seems to me, at least, to capture the semi-religious fervour with which her followers treat her.
