James Taggart awakes at noon, hungover, in his apartment with
Betty Pope, with whom he is having a romanceless sexual affair. He brags about how he is going to bring down
Dagny Taggart for what she did to the
San Sebastian Line. But before he has a chance to do this, he receives a call from his man in
Mexico telling him the line and the
San Sebastian Mines have been nationalized, just as
Dagny predicted.
