A good review by Mr. Roger Donway. He draws attention to Rand's claim about raising people's IQs. (It jumped out at me when I read the book as well.)
"I'd prefer that people raise their IQ from 110 to 150. It can be done."
Rand was rather anti-egalitarian, but on this issue she seems to have have a very optimistic view of human nature common to the Left.
As Mr. Donway also notes, Robert Mayhew incorrectly attributed the essay "Counterfeit Individualism" to Rand rather than Nathaniel Branden. It appears that Prof. Mayhew isn't always the most careful writer (see here and here).
