Biography
Ballad
WWII Medal of Honor recipient Rodger Young is commemorated in
Starship Troopers, both with a
namesake troop transport and a biographical mention at the
end. The Biography link connects to a full biography of this
authentic American hero. (The page is rather garish and cluttered,
but it was by far the best biography I found on the net.) The
Ballad link contains the lyrics and several audio files of the
ballad in different formats.

Heinlein Newgroups & Forums
If you're looking to hook up with like-minded readers and
aficionados, try any of these venues:
- alt.fan.heinlein
Click Here
The big gorilla of Heinlein-related forums. Topics drift and
personalities clash, but great fun anyway.
- sff.discuss.heinlein-forum
Click Here
sff.people.robert-a-heinlein
Click Here
Two more Heinlein-related newsgroups from a private server. The
Heinlein Forum is one of the oldest Heinlein groups around, having
moved between private hosts such as Prodigy and GEnie before finding
a more lasting and accessible home on the net. Both groups are
more social and "Heinlein-inspired" than directly discussion of
RAH.
To access these
groups, you will have to tell your newsreader to use port 1119 (instead of the default 119). The
links above contain this information and simply clicking on them
may take you to your reader and the groups without delay. You may
instead have to manually create a news.sff.net
server account in your newsreader and set its port to 1119 for
access. For more assistance and alternate ways to reach these
newsgroups, see the SFF Net
web site.
