		<description><![CDATA[An Australian libertarian blogger wants to borrow from Heinlein when it comes to suffrage:
&#8220;The idea wasnâ€™t ours, of course. It was Robert Heinleinâ€™s in Starship Troopers. If you serve your society, you get to vote. Youâ€™re not required to serve. But if you donâ€™t, you donâ€™t vote. Heinlein figured that those who choose to defend [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sound politics has the following article about diversity in science fiction:
Her piece begins with this paragraph:


The face of fantastic fiction is changing.  More than just its face: This former locus of racial and cultural stereotypes, where Robert Heinlein&#8217;s spaceship pilots look, sound and act like 1950s Pat Boone fans and J.R.R. Tolkien&#8217;s doughty elves [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From just about every newspaper in America:
ON THIS DAY IN 1907 &#8212; Science fiction writer Robert Heinlein is born. He&#8217;s a four-time winner of the Hugo Award for best SF novel of the year and one of the giant figures in the history of the genre.

		<description><![CDATA[At the risk of being accused of being too self-referential, I am linking to my own post about a blogging controversy in Orange County, Calif. There IS a Heinlein connection: The blogger uses the pseudonym &#8220;Jubal.&#8221;
According to the author of the column I commented upon: &#8220;The name Jubal is, significantly, drawn from Stranger in a [...]]]></description>
