"Furthermore, although a flaming liberal during the war, Heinlein became a rock-ribbed far-right conservative immediately afterward... at just the time he changed wives from a liberal woman, Leslyn, to a rock-ribbed far-right conservative woman, Virginia. (...) I can't explain Heinlein in that way at all, for I cannot believe he would follow his wives' opinions blindly.

...wow. Unbelievable, huh? You know who I bet could have handily explained the principle of Occam's Razor to poor befuddled head-scratching Isaac Asimov?

ROBERT A. HEINLEIN.

Strangely, I have not the least difficulty in the world believing that Heinlein cut his coat to fit his wives' fashion or whatever the appropriate idiom would be. It is perfectly in accordance with human nature, even if iron-willed RAH (or as I say it, GRRRRRAAHHHHH) was supposed by the Asimovs of the world to transcend such petty concepts.
