Changes

For three years, John Galt recruited relatively minor figures into his strike. Then he recruited a man who changed everything, and radically.

== [[Galt's Gulch]] ==

[[Midas Mulligan]], a banker by trade, became embroiled in a lawsuit after he refused a business loan to one Lee Hunsacker, who had bought the old Twentieth Century Motor Company in a fire sale after the Starnes heirs finally ran that company completely into the ground. Hunsacker sued Mulligan. The original trial judge ([[Judge Narragansett]]) gave the jury a charge that was more like an argument for [[jury nullification]]. The jury found for Mulligan, but an appellate court reversed that judgment and remanded the case for a new trial, before a different judge. The jury in that trial found for Hunsacker. Naturally, John Galt approached Midas ''and'' Judge Narragansett and encouraged them to go on strike. Mulligan "took fifteen minutes" to join; Narragansett would join six months later.
