Rah, rah, RAH

Robert Heinlein would be 100 today, if he were still alive.
There are some good links on Clairefiles about this. The Wikipedia article makes much of Heinlein's youthful flirtation with the Left, though he was apparently not an out-and-out Commie like so many intellectuals in the 30s. But he more than redeemed himself. The Christers are right about literature in school libraries influencing impressionable young minds; I owe more of who I am to Heinlein than any other writer, Rand included.
