Richard Kostelanetz writes:
Having published in 2003 a book about a NYC community
Having published in 2003 a book about a NYC community
in which I'd lived for three decades and knew well, I thought it
appropriate to write another book, not quite a sequel, about the
NYC community to which I once planned to move. If my SoHo
was about the rise and fall of an artists' colony in whose history
I fully participated, so this sequel would be about a decline that
preceded my participation in its revival as NYC's premier
beach town. As in its predecessor, I would combine objective
description and history with personal experience, establishing
complementary truths.
If my SoHo memoir portrayed how an art world developed
within NYC, but not quite of it, this book portrays a string of
Atlantic beach towns, a group different from others along the
East Coast in its incorporation into a great city. (Miami Beach,
recall, is legally separate from Miami.) I suppose that if the
development of NYC has proceeded differently over the past
two centuries, NY could have become not just a port city but
also a beach city, much like Rio de Janeiro, whose black and
white mosaic path between the street and the beach became a
popular promenade for everyone, even businessmen discussing
deals that are then consummated when someone pulls out some
paper or, nowadays, a laptop computer for recording details.
If the libertarian theme of the first book held that an
industrial slum was transformed not by any city planning but
the spontaneous collaboration of hundreds of young people
mostly artists who discovered that industrial spaces could be
occupied, the theme of my Rockaways is that the central city
undermined it in various ways after World War II. It is now
coming back thanks to small entrepreneurs.
I hope to show in conjunction with my talk to do
a PowerPoint presentation of historic images from the
Rockaways. It draws upon my Kindle ebook: " The
Rockaways: The Fall and Rise of NYC's Beach Towns:"

Feel better about the world, listen to Yaron Brook
on the Amy Peikoff show, about Paul Ryan and more.
This weekly live webcast/podcast has discussions of news
and politics from the perspective of Objectivism, the
philosophy of Ayn Rand, with host Amy Peikoff.
Yaron Brook, executive director of The Ayn Rand Institute,
joins her in studio to talk about Ryan and the potential
implications of him as VP for our long-term battle to improve
the culture. He sees positives, "a great time for us." It's worth
listening to the end:

The man who allowed Hong Kong to blossom
The Wall St. Journal had an article by Bill McGurn inspired
by Romney's promise to bring the Churchill statue back to the
White House if he wins the presidency.
McGurn says Romney should make room for a statue of
John James Cowperthwaite, too. "He was the Hong Kong
financial secretary whose free-market convictions helped the
war-weary colony grow into an economic powerhouse. Milton
Friedman once explained the significance of this example:
'Hong Kong's been very useful to me and it would be hard
to overestimate the debt Hong Kong owes to Cowperthwaite.'
Cowperthwaite was a disciple of Adam Smith and used his
ideas to create something close to a laissez faire government
in Hong Kong. Friedman used Hong Kong as an example of
what free market principles could do, turning a poor country
into a rich one by giving it's people economic freedom.
"Friedman first traveled to Hong Kong in 1955, when it was
flooded with refugees from Communist China and life, he
wrote, was 'miserable' for most of its inhabitants. He returned
again in 1963, when things had improved, and there he met
Cowperthwaite. Asked why he forbade officials from keeping
numbers even for things such as gross domestic product,
Cowperthwaite told Friedman a version of what he would tell
me over lunch at Hong Kong's Mandarin Hotel three decades
later. 'If I let them keep statistics,' he said, 'they can only
misuse them.'
"Cowperthwaite wasn't one for speeches or economic papers.
So most of his philosophy must be gleaned from debates in
Hong Kong's Legislative Council, where he used his
formidable skills to fend off the latest hare-brained scheme
for taxing Peter to subsidize Paul...."
The article & related video interview have a Cowperthwaite
bust which McGurn owns. He has the same sweet look as the
actor who plays Mozzie on the TV show "White Collar."

Rights vs liberty
Libertarian's usually think liberty is what's needed to give
people freedom, but Objectivists know rights are the essential
element. Here's the beginning of "Man's Rights" by Ayn Rand:
If one wishes to advocate a free society -- that is, capitalism
-- one must realize that its indispensable foundation is the
principle of individual rights. If one wishes to uphold
individual rights, one must realize that capitalism is the only
system that can uphold and protect them. And if one wishes
to gauge the relationship of freedom to the goals of today's
intellectuals, one may gauge it by the fact that the concept of
individual rights is evaded, distorted, perverted and seldom
discussed, most conspicuously seldom by the so-called
"conservatives."
"Rights" are a moral concept -- the concept that provides a
logical transition from the principles guiding an individual's
actions to the principles guiding his relationship with others --
the concept that preserves and protects individual morality in a
social context -- the link between the moral code of a man and
the legal code of a society, between ethics and politics.
"Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to
moral law....
"...there are, in fact, no "economic rights," no "collective
rights," no "public-interest rights. The term "individual rights"
is a redundancy: there is no other kind of rights and no one
else to possess them.
"Those who advocate laissez-faire capitalism are the only
advocates of man's rights...."

Mars robots created in Manhattan
At the last Junto Andy George told us of the company he
works for, Honeybee Robotics. They created two of the gizmos
on the rover Curiosity which landed last Monday.
NY Post reported on Honeybee Robotics, "One device is
a brush that will clean the dust off rock samples scooped from
Mars' surface.
"The other is a robotic carousel that will transfer rocks and
soil samples dug up by Curiosity's robot arm to the scientific
testing equipment inside its main body.
"These are precision operations, taking place millions of
miles away from home in a very harsh environment," You can

Mars. This is from what is still an early phase of Curiosity's

Ayn Rand on Johnny Carson: Once lost, now found
In 1967 Rand had this, her first appearance on the Tonight
Show with Johnny Carson. He was so fascinated he scrapped
his other guests and kept her on the whole show. He had her
back two more times. This video hasn't been seen since then.
This and many other early Carson shows were lost in a fire
at NBC. Kerry O'Quinn recently put this on the web. It was
among home made tapes made by John Waldrop and willed
to Kerry. Both these men were friends of mine.
Fred Feingersh, who used to attend Junto, talked to Rand
afterwards, asking her how she felt about the show. She said
that during the interview she felt as if there were no problems
in the world.
Now it's on sites all over the web. Watch it here:

Ayn Rand and Paul Ryan
* Ryan's announcement as Republican Presidential V.P. was
followed by many articles and interviews which mentioned
Ryan was a fan of some of Rand's ideas.
* In a video Ryan said, “And I think a lot of people would
observe we are right now living in an Ayn Rand novel,
metaphorically speaking.”
* Soon Ryan was the second top-trending nonsponsored
topic on Twitter with Ayn Rand in seventh place.
* The day after the announcement actor Rob Lowe on
Twitter bemoaned that Rand's name is often met with "vitriol."
Lowe said, " 'Atlas' is the greatest motivator for the individual
that I can imagine."
* Ryan said he "always goes back to Francisco d'Anconia's
speech from 'Atlas Shrugged' when he thinks about the Fed."
He's not an Objectivist or fully a free market person but it's
still nice to read things like that. Complete article here:
tiny.cc/RyanFrisco
* Interview magazine reveals Anne Hathaway as a
self-identified Ayn Rand fan, joining the ranks of Brad Pitt,
Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock and Eva Mendes.
She says: "When I began 'Atlas Shrugged,' I was really
excited, because Ayn Rand said that 'The Fountainhead'
was the overture to 'Atlas Shrugged.'...The characters are
so compelling and what she's saying is mind-expanding.
I really enjoyed that book and it was kind of prophetic."
tiny.cc/AynAnne
* Many people are studying up on Rand because there are so
many articles mentioning her in connection with Ryan. For that
reason "Atlas" is number 112 on Amazon's bestseller list.
Andrew Bernstein's Cliffnotes of "Atlas" is number two
on Amazon's Book Notes bestseller list.
That made me curious about what might be number one on
Amazon's Book Notes bestseller list. It's this Kindle book:
"The Ultimate Ayn Rand Quicklet Bundle":
* Atlas Shrugged
* The Fountainhead
* The Virtue of Selfishness
* Philosophy: Who Needs It
* The Romantic Manifesto
It doesn't look like a good book but it's OK. People will do
better reading about her ideas at Wikipedia, Ayn Rand Institute
or The Atlas Society.

Video online showing inventions which build on each other
"Everything is a Remix Part 3" by Kirby Ferguson, shows
that "creativity isn't magic." It's part of a series which
"explores how innovations truly happens." It demonstrates
that inventions are all remixes.
This is a favorite of Naomi Brockwell who recommended it.
She often attends Junto. Watch it at:

Three books for Ayn Rand fans coming soon
* "Free Market Revolution: How Ayn Rand's Ideas Can End
Big Government" by Yaron Brook and Don Watkins, Aug. 18.
A video interview with Brook: "People don't vote their
pocketbooks, people vote what they think is right," says Brook,
president of The Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights.
"So we need a moral revolution in this country, and that's
how we get a free market revolution."
At FreedomFest 2012, Reason's Matt Welch sat down with
Brook to discuss what Obama has meant for sales of "Atlas
Shrugged," why big government hurts the poor and how Ayn
Rand inspired the Tea Party.
FreedomFest, Las Vegas, attended by about 2,000 limited-govt
enthusiasts and libertarians yearly. Here's the video interview:

* "The DIM Hypothesis: Why the Lights of the West Are
Going Out" by Leonard Peikoff, Sept. 4.
The groundbreaking and controversial DIM hypothesis casts
a new light on the process of human thought and thereby on
Western culture and history.
"One type of mindset works to integrate data by rational means
(which Peikoff calls "Integration," or for short "I"). Another
seeks to integrate by non-rational means ("Misintegration," or
"M"). A third opposes integration of any kind ("Disintegration,"
or "D"). Thus the acronym DIM."
* "The Financial Crisis and the Free Market Cure: Why
Pure Capitalism is the World Economy's Only Hope"
by John A. Allison, Sept. 27.
"Required reading....Shows how our economic crisis
was a failure, not of the free market, but of government."

NY Observer, author "Ayn Rand and the World She Made."
"I encourage those who live here or who visit, to

to communicate. His perspectives on American history,
libertarianism, and Objectivism as well as his appreciation
of the arts integrate many interesting facts and influences
on our culture." Lee Clifford, Junto attendee
