• • Meg & Dia are smart singing sisters 
Tom Lanham, San Francisco Examiner Atlas Shrugged  Egoism  “I don’t enjoy reading modern books at all,” [Meg Frampton] says. “For education, I’ve relied on classics by Fitzgerald, Salinger, because I’m really interested in the way they saw things.” That’s how the exotic Korean-American beauty [...] stumbled across her most crucial text: Ayn Rand’s 1957 classic “Atlas Shrugged,” which details Objectivism, the author’s controversial philosophy of pursuing one’s own self-interest. “That’s the book that really got me going,” she says. “When I read it, it was the absolute truth, and that was how I was going to live my life. There’s a bad connotation to the word ‘selfish,’ but there shouldn’t be — it means that you look out for yourself, not walk all over people to get what you want. And if you’re doing it the way Rand says, you actually help others along the way.”
