Sorry, I meant Philip K. Dick. A very interesting fellow, very different from Heinlein politically, although people forget that Heinlein was once a socialist. He grew up. Dick was broke, and deeply in tax trouble when Heinlein heard about it and lent him enough money to get back on his feet. Offered to buy him an electric typewriter. Dick was grateful enough to dedicate The Golden Man to Heinlein. Amazing story.

I knew who you meant. I’m not as critical as some here.
