Board member Alan Milner proving his street cred on Citizen of the Galaxy.

Also, Blood Committee chair Mike Sheffield (extracted from the newsletter)
with a very upbeat report on recent blood drives.
Lastly, the recent newsletter in .pdf, both page-at-a-time for the
bandwidth-challenged, and all-in-one for those of you with fat pipes (and

Subject: Favorite Quotes
Newsgroups: sff.discuss.heinlein-forum
In two different places today I've been asked for my favorite quote.
It got me to wondering...
What's your favorite quote?
I have two.
1.) "A man's judgement is no better than his information."
This is from the cover of a notebook my grandfather had a long time
ago. The binder was from The United Business Service. My grandfater
was a banker.
2) "You're not really drunk if you can lie on the floor without
holding on"
This is my alltime favorite quote. I got it in an e-mailed list of
quotes where it was attributed to Dean Martin.

"Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese." --G. K.
Chesterton.
Somewhere, haven't seen it recently, I have a file of my favorite quotes,
as I have a great many.
Another:
"It was the nation that had the lion's heart. I was privileged to be chosen
to give the roar." -- Winston Churchill (tho that was from memory, so I
may have missed it a touch)
And, of course, the one that proves indisputably, unquestionably, that Robert
A. Heinlein was indeed a pedophile: "Rub her feet."

"I never learned from a man I agreed with" --RAH. I may be off by a
word or two, it's from the Schulman interview. I have the old DOS
version of the book which is not easily searchable.
Kennedy's quote: "Let us not negotiate out of fear, but let us never
fear to negotiate." OWTTE.

My favorite quote has been in my sig for going on a decade now. Seneca
"borrowed" it from Hippocrates, who had a longer version in Greek:
"Life is short, the art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment
treacherous, judgment difficult"
