	I was reading somewheres that President Reagan's Strategic
Defense Initiative, .i.e. "Star Wars", had split a great many
interest groups, including science fiction writers.  The article
said that Isaac Asimov had come out against the initiative and
Robert Heinlein for it.  I knew that Heinlein was still writing, but
I didn't know that he was still politically active as he was in the
50's and 60's.
	Has anyone seen an article with such statements attributed
to him?  If so, I would certainly like a pointer to it.  I am not
surprised that he would take such a stand, but he has been misquoted
in the past and I would like to see just what it was that he said.
