Page 5 has a somewhat small advertisement for "AYN RAND" lecture involving Nathaniel Branden at the Hotel Roosevelt. This ad measures 3 x 1 1/2 inches. (see image)
AI notes: On February 11, 1963, Ayn Rand delivered a lecture titled “America’s Persecuted Minority: Big Business” at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. In it, she defended big business as a misunderstood and unfairly vilified force in American society, arguing that capitalists and entrepreneurs are the true creators of wealth and progress. Rand criticized government regulation and public hostility toward business, framing such attitudes as moral and practical injustices. This lecture later became a key essay in her 1967 book Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, where she elaborated on her Objectivist view that laissez-faire capitalism is the only moral social system.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete in 32 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, very nice condition.
