Interesting observations about Heinlein. Even in "Glory Road", which is
my personal favorite, he uses terminology such as "my brown brothers" in
a most sarcastic vein. Heinlein was a very conservative fellow, making
Ghengis Khan appear to be compassionate and sensitive. Another of his
books from the sixties is "Farnhams Freehold" having to do with the cold
war nuclear holocaust scenario.
