Posted by empedocles 11 years ago to Movies

Can somebody provide a reference, so that I can read the priest scene that was cut from Atlas Shrugged that is mentioned in the attached article?

It was cut from the manuscript prior to publishing.

  Is the scene in her published notes?

    I don't know. I'm hoping someone here who has read beyond her public works for fiction can point me in the right direction.
    
    I did find this lady's blog, which is insightful, but I don't expect to find this material in her book.

      LetsShrug has read the volume on Rand's notes. I think she'll know the answer. I have not read anything Rand wrote about that scene, I've only heard ir described.

Father Amadeus, confessor to the Taggart Family, previously discussed in the Gulch here:
http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts/1d...

From "The Journals of Ayn Rand," edited by David Harriman (Dutton, 1997).
Page 405. April 10, 1946. “Characters Needed”
Page 430 April 23, 1946. “Outline: The Strike. Part I: The End”
[etc., etc.]
Page 540-541 XVII
“Taggart and the priest. The confession of total evil. “I have nothing to say, James. I’m on strike.: The rescue of Galt … "

From that Forbes article: "And here is where Aglialoro plans his surprise, a scene that does not exist in the book ..."

  Thanks.
  
  I was really hoping this scene wasn't in the journals due to their poor editing.
  
  Here's some info:

It is well known going back before 20 years before Jennifer Burns. Chase the rabbit down the hole and you are in Wonderland. I stay above ground.
