This is probably common knowledge to Fed groupies, but while looking for resources on the Federal Reserve, I came across this interesting piece from 1997 on Alan Greenspan's relationship with Ayn Rand. Apparently they were close enough (the article refers to Greenspan as Rand's "special pet") for Greenspan to read the manuscript of Atlas Shrugged straight from Rand's typewriter. The article also has some interesting material on Greenspan's reputation as a ladies' man, speculating that he was "a good kisser."
