A thundering shame if true. Would it help any to send every net.sfnik down to
buy it? Dear people it is worth it, if only for Heinlein's favorite underap-
preciated story, "Our Lady's Juggler" by Anatole France.

    This story is a heartwarming picture of human values. (cornier than
the story deserves, but I dont want to do a spoiler here). Pro-Heinlein folks
could make a strong case for the Senile Master Storyteller (~1/2 :->)
by pointing to his admiration for "Our Ladys Juggler". A better case even than
Spider Robinson makes in "rah rah R.A.H."

    foo! Im working on a beautiful Sunday. My eloquence isn't what I might like.
I'll just miss that second volume of BoAPW, though.
