Mike Lynch made some good points recently about old-time SF writers' adjustment to the advent of sex in science fiction, but to include Farmer on his list was absurd. Phillip Jose Farmer was the one who got sex in SF started! Remember THE LOVERS? Also, this was not mid-sixties, but late fifties. Not meaning to flame, just posting a correction, Tim Maroney

I was saddened by "The Number of The Beast". Heinlein did in fact seem senile especially toward the end. I guess he must have recovered from his CVA, "Friday" was a welcome return to the old (almost) Heinlein from yesteryear. He's still chasing young girls, but at least you can follow the story again.
