I'll tell you, I grew up with Heinlein (so to speak). Through his books he taught me a great deal and was a pleasant companion from elementary school onward. Now I'll continue to buy each new book in hardcover the minute it appears (a rare exception for me) because I feel that I owe him a lot, but the two most recent novels have left me somewhat cool. What happened to the TREMENDOUS, almost enveloping structure and content of the Lazurus Long and other, earlier stories? I mourn for this loss, but I WILL keep on hoping and buying... Jeff
