	I lost the origional material, but the author stated that
he appreciated the maturity in regards to sexual mores and the like
that Heinlein showed in Friday. If you ask me, that's about ALL he
is showing these days. I really liked the Lazurus Long material,
party because it did handle sexual issues well. But his latest two
books, Number of the Beast and Friday, deal only with such issues
and use the plot to tie together various encounters and discussions
on the subject. Heinlein once showed us that he was a good author,
he then showed us that he was very liberal with regards to sexual mores,
hopefully he can now go back to being a good author.

	It might be point out that two of my friends in high school
read Number of the Beast and Friday as pornography, they did not
enjoy science fiction for the most part.
