	Robert A. Heinlein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heinlein was divorced from his wife Leslyn in 1947, and in 1948 married his third wife, Virginia "Ginny" Gerstenfeld, who probably served as a model for many of his brainy and independent female characters.
		Heinlein's nonfiction includes "Who are the heirs of Patrick Henry?," an anticommunist polemic, published as an ad, and articles such as "'Pravda' Means 'Truth'" and "Inside Intourist," in which he recounts his visit to the USSR and advises western readers on how to evade official supervision on such a trip.
		Heinlein is usually identified, along with Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, as one of the three masters of science fiction to arise in the so-called Golden Age of science fiction, associated with John W. Campbell and his magazine Astounding Science Fiction.

James also says the events of the Second World War and the Cold War, including the threat from communism, influenced Heinlein's change of political philosophy.

	Heinlein on the Individual
		Heinlein's pre-war stories sometimes read like a 21st century retelling of David and Goliath - the little man battles to slay the giants of bureaucracy, incorporation and those devious forces that seek to rob individuals of their freedom.
		Heinlein's disgust with monopolies is evident, but he also reveals a great fear about a system that would have the power to break them.
		Almost from the start, Heinlein's juvenile novels written in the late 40's and 50's are an ode to the common man. The heroes are boys and girls about the age of the intended reader, from all walks of life, who inevitably hit it big, save the world or revolutionize human life.

		Heinlein surely knew that it could be made more salable by identifying figures like the one mentioned on page 188, of whom he says: "He is nationally known but I shall not name him"; it's hard to imagine that none of the editors to whom he submitted it made such a suggestion.
		Heinlein ran for the Democratic nomination for the state assembly seat for the 59th Assembly District in 1938.

		Heinlein loved to pontificate through the mouths of his characters, so modern readers must be willing to overlook the occasional sour note ("Nine times out of ten, if a girl gets raped, it's partly her fault.").
		Heinlein has been rightly criticized for presenting as facts his opinions, which state that organized religion is a sham, authority is generally stupid, young women are all the same, and the common individual is alternately an independent, Ayn Randian-producing genius and the dull-witted part of an ignorant and will-less mob.
		Heinlein was not sure that anyone would even publish this story that took him 12 years to write; what was published was a mere figment of the original manuscript, 60,000 words having been cut out.

	Science Fiction Writer Robert J. Sawyer: On Writing — Heinlein's Rules
		Heinlein used to say he had no qualms about giving away these rules, even though they explained how you could become his direct competitor, because he knew that almost no one would follow their advice.
		In my experience, that's true: if you start off with a hundred people who say they want to be writers, you lose half of the remaining total after each rule — fully half the people who hear each rule will fail to follow it.
		And although many beginners don't believe it, Heinlein is right: if your story is close to publishable, editors will tell you what you have to do to make it salable.

		The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966) Though some have credited Heinlein with this phrase, because he uses it prominently in this novel, it actually dates to the late 1930s, and even the acronym "TANSTAAFL" is recorded to have been in use as early as 1949.
		Most, if not all, of these quotations are of the recurring Heinlein character "Lazarus Long", and most were labeled as from the "Excerpts from the Notebooks of Lazarus Long".
		I now define "moral behavior" as "behavior that tends toward survival." I won't argue with philosophers or theologians who choose to use the word "moral" to mean something else, but I do not think anyone can define "behavior that tends toward extinction" as being "moral" without stretching the word "moral" all out of shape.
