    “God is an iron” – just Google it. Another Heinlein fan, oddly enough – but from the left. Good SF/Fantasy/whatever. Anything Callahan’s Start at the beginning for max understanding. And Lady Sally deserves a bow. (In any meaning of bow – she reminds me of Star in Heinlein’s Glory Road. Lady could wield a mean bow – among other things.)
