It was RH and the book was "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" - one

Thanks, Teflon memory syndrome again. I read that book back in high
school and thoroughly enjoyed it. Really liked early Heinlein (Door Into
Summer, Starship Troopers, etc.), during his latter years he seemed to
become less entertaining and more vitriolic.

True, but don't we all? sigh

Mark...

One of the reasons I enjoyed his writing was that he seemed to
want to offer new ideas to his readers. Perhaps I read in more
than was actually intended; but I thought he had a determination
to leave this world a much better place than he found it - and
was frustrated with his perceived lack of progress.

Should have given himself more credit.
