Probably nothing—but I just noticed that that title comes from 1947. Heinlein didn’t publish any short fiction in 1943-1946, according to the ISFDB.  So that title, in addition to being very appropriate for the story, could be a reference to getting back to writing.

Or not; it was published in July, looks like, and other things were published earlier in the year.

I’m still amused.

This article contains major spoilers for the Lensman books. If you haven’t read them yet and are looking for advice on reading order, I’ll say here that I’m currently mostly, and cautiously, recommending that one start with Galactic Patrol, and then loop around to pick up the “first two” if you want to when you get to the end. This is reading in roughly but not precisely publication order. The reasons why are themselves spoilers.

There are some considerable difficulties in recommending a suitable reading order for Edward E. “Doc” Smith’s famous Lensman series. These are caused partly by the content of the books themselves, and partly by their somewhat convoluted publication history. (more…)

How often does a major newspaper publish an article on an author that’s not tied to a book or movie release? How often when the author has been dead 20 years?

The LA Times just did. On Heinlein, of course. The very existence of the article seems to somewhat undercut the content, which is mostly negative.
