New Thanks again.
It's a good read. And very scary, the things that were going on then...

I can't be sure that I found the word you're alluding to. "He suddenly felt the need for Meade" was fun though. ;-)

Cheers,
Scott.

New As I've maintained re the "quote" rituals, all along--
Nothing New under the Sun {{apropos in This context, eh?}}

ie.
Whatever we imagine We Just Thought-Up.. likely Has been said (even in Aramaic.)
I meant: 'geek' as applied to all those preemies who grokked sodiumethylmercurithiosalicylate ... as teens; many such in IT and .. ulp, Here!

Unclear if Heinlein's association with the word extended to lizard-biters or ... was focussed on Techno-geeks (as I surmise.)
Thus: just maybe an early-on appropriation of the genre --> the Specific, as techno-geek. Rest case.
