Happy birthday to gossip columnist Liz Smith author of the 2000 memoir "Natural Blonde" et al. Mary Elizabeth "Liz" Smith is her actual full name. She is known as "The Grand Dame of Dish".
Today is also the birthday of Ayn Rand.
"I am often asked whether I am primarily a novelist or a philosopher. The answer is: both. In a certain sense, every novelist is a philosopher, because one cannot present a picture of human existence without a philosophical framework. . . . In order to define, explain and present my concept of man, I had to
