		Wynand says that he understands her now, for she wants to "sell [herself] for the lowest motive to the lowest person [she] can find"--like a man, she is demonstrating her contempt for someone through a sexual act.
		Wynand has never made use of that power to accomplish anything, and it is uncertain whether he would ever be able to persuade the masses to think or believe something they do not already think or believe.
		Wynand himself admits that he lacks integrity, and he recognizes that Dominique is in love with it; however heavyhanded the point is, Rand represents integrity as a central component of a man or woman who lives correctly.

		Roark befriends Gail because he realizes Gail's uncompromising desire for purity and respect for a man for what he is. Gail realizes late in life that he has catered to the taste of the public masses and sold himself short of following his own dream.
		Wynand's paper, his empire, is a device to be used by others and Gail realizes this in his discussion on the yacht with Roark, where he says that he must give others the "right" to his papers — thereby potentially escalating his own demise.
		Gail confronts Howard on the issue, asking "Howard, have you ever held power over a single human being?" with Howard's response being: "No. And I wouldn't take it if it were offered to me." This illustrates Roark's fundamental aversion to the power structure inherent in the dependent vs. independent.

		But it was not easy, because she did not see him doing this, yet knew that this was being done, without the relief of a physical gesture." Clearly this is a man who feels and suffers.
		Gail Wynand is a fascinating, tragic character throughout -- and in a way, his relationship with Dominique is more interesting than the Howard/Dominique romance.
		See Wynand's comment to Dominique, "One can't love man without hating most of the creatures who pretend to bear his name." That's scary.
