Summary: Willers tells John Galt about Dwight Sanders. Dagny hears on the radio that Sanders quit. Paul Larkin got Rearden’s ore business, and Ken Danagger (age 50s) got his coal mines. Mouch resigned and became Assistant Coordinator of the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. Despite various challenges to the John Galt Line, the work continued, and Dagny chose Pat Logan to be engineer on its first train. They held a press conference, then had the first run on July 22. The run is successful, and Wyatt joins them to celebrate. Dagny and Hank consummate their romance.

Start by reading the first-tier comments, which are all quotes of Ayn Rand (some of my favorites, some just important for other reasons). Comment on your favorite ones, or others' comments. Don't see your favorite quote? Post it in a new comment. Please reserve new comments for Ayn Rand, and your non-Rand quotes for "replies" to the quotes or discussion. (Otherwise Rand's quotes will get crowded out and pushed down into oblivion. You can help avoid this by "voting up" the Rand quotes, or at least the ones you especially like, and voting down first-tier comments that are not quotes of the featured book.)

Atlas Shrugged was written by Ayn Rand in 1957.

My idea for this post is discussed here:
