Repeatedly. He kept saying "we've only one rule" and then telling Dagny of another one. Or he didn't believe in giving his enemies the products of his mind - but then told his torturers how to fix the machine.

What is Atlas Shrugged about?
Ayn Rand's classic dystopian novel "Atlas Shrugged" is about a society very much like ours today in which the productive people in society - the few people who invent things, start businesses, and develop new and more productive ways of doing things - are being more and more hampered and taxed in their ability to manage their businesses, and the consumptive class - the politicians, bureaucrats and "moochers" of society - demand more and more effort from the productive few. Figuratively in the story, Atlas, the Greek demigod who carried the world on his shoulders is weary. Atlas shrugs, and drops the world from his shoulders and is freed of his burden. In the novel, the opening line is the recurring question "Who is John Galt?" The inventor John Galt, tired of being taken advantage of, organizes a "strike" of the productive few, and watches civilization collapse around him. It is a fascinating story, well told (except for a 100-page monologue of John Galt's speech, which drags on even by Randian standards) which has become eerily prescient in its depiction of our collapsing civilization. So even though the novel is over 50 years old, it has received intense new interest as a "libertarian anthem". A new movie of "Atlas Shrugged" is currently in production, and should be released in 2011.
