How Ayn Rand made a name for herself

Author Ayn Rand always loved New York. But it was her family inChicago who "literally saved her life," says Rand's biographer,Barbara Branden, in town to promote The Passion of Ayn Rand.

"If they had not written to her, she would not have gotten outof Russia in 1926," says Branden, who hunted down Rand's real name -Alice Rosenbaum - after the author's death.

Branden began her research here by trying to call everyone inthe Chicago phonebook named Portnoy, the name of some of Rand'srelations.
