A non-profit organization, ARI is the premier organization devoted to spreading
Ayn Rand's ideas throughout the culture. Its many activities include:

clubs stocked with Objectivist literature and lends taped lectures for public
broadcasting;
--The operation of a Campus Speakers Bureau: past speakers have included Harry
Binswanger on "Why 'Buy American' is _Un_-American," George Reisman on
"Education and the Racist Road to Barbarism," and Peter Schwartz, Richard
Salsman, and Richard Sanford on "The Case Against Environmentalism: Moral,
Economic, and Scientific."
--The sponsoring of auctions and banquets, such as The Fountainhead 50th
Anniversary Banquet being held in Boston this November;
--Two contests: A _Fountainhead_ Essay contest open to 11th and 12th graders,
