What I should like to know is: do the characters spend a lot of time
on long-winded political and social discussions? My chief
reservation about Heinlein's previous works is that his characters
pontificate ad nauseam. (Extreme example: _Time Enough for Love_, in
which Heinlein had to insert extra segments to hold all the
protagonist's "wisdom.")

No, he didn't. Which is supprising; I think Heinlein slipped up there.
Fairly un-Heinlein like, I'll admit. I suppose He's back-sliding.
