Heavens, what are they teaching kids in school these days?   Oh, sorry, 
ACLU took care of that.  Talk about not knowing Western culture . . .

Anyway, Lazarus is the first man whom Jesus Christ resurected.  The Heinlein
story was making a biblical allusion.  Try watching "Jesus of Nazarath" next
time it comes on (usually shows every Easter [that's in the spring]), on two
nights).  You'll probably learn a lot about your own culture.
