Letter to the editor lifts from The Fountainhead

Two alert readers familiar with the works of American conservative philosopher Ayn Rand have pointed out that a letter in Monday’s Journal was largely plagiarized from a passage in Part 2 of The Fountainhead. The letter is signed “Dominique Francon”, a Fountainhead character to whom the lifted words are attributed in the book.

Here’s the offending letter.

Thanks, @mwickens!
