A BTT. For those unfamiliar with him, this fellow Heinlein was an obscure junior Naval Officer who left the Navy on a medical discharge due to tuberculosis. Not sure what happened to him after that but I hear he wrote some stuff... ;-)

Oh, and Asimov, who knew him, called him a "flaming liberal" at the time. That one always cracks me up.

Maybe he skipped “Starship Troopers” and “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress,” only catching “Stranger In A Strange Land,” which probably could have been written by a hippie (without being a satire).
