In August, 1973, after I’d interviewed Heinlein for the New York Daily News, George Nobbe, the Sunday editor who’d commissioned my Heinlein interview, asked me who I wanted to interview next. I chose Rand, and proceeded to get in touch with her through her office. She had been burned by the press so often that she was hesitant to do a newspaper interview, but made an exception because at the time — hard as it sounds to believe — Ayn Rand was doing television commercials advertising the Daily News!
Okay. I’ll accept Schulman’s report without challenge. The fact is, the Daily News was very conservative in those days so I’m puzzled as to why Breslin would have been on board. Thanks for your patience.
