A number of incomplete articles have arrived here recently.  Their common
malaise is apparent loss of the beginning.  Any ideas why these articles
are munged?  Two examples follow:

-also believes that they're much happier suppressing that intelligence
-when it's not used to manipulate a man (to take your example, Ellie ends
-happily by getting married; consider also "The Menace from Earth", PODKAYNE OF
-MARS, THE STAR BEAST, etc. ad nauseam). It's certainly reasonable to say of
-Heinlein that he tends to look at all people simplistically; it's just that his
-simplistic assumptions about women are even more skewed (compared with the
-experience of many of us) than his assumptions about men. Heinlein has always
-been opposed to some of the classical prejudices (consider remarks about race
-in FARNHAM'S FREEHOLD), but he substitutes many of his own.
-   I'm also curious about your analogy to the blind men and the elephant.
-Obviously peoples' artistic tastes will differ, but I'd guess that most of
-the people commenting on THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST had read the whole book,
-and most have also read a good part of Heinlein's work, giving them a fair
-basis for comparison. I haven't checked off a list, but I think I've read
-every novel and 95% of his short work; one of the things that can be said
-objectively is that he tends to set up people as "right" or "wrong" and then
-to treat their actions accordingly (not so much as Dickson, perhaps, but
-still quite visibly).
-   My favorite reaction to TNotB was from a friend who read it recently; she
-complained that they spent most of the first third of the book programming the
-computer. (I skimmed many of those sections.) TNotB reads like a personal
-wish-fulfillment fantasy, which is one of the things making it dull for anyone
-else.
