For Heinlein fans, his original novel, ``For Us: the Living'', previously
unpublished, has just been released.  Originally written in 1937 and 1938,
it presents subjects and ideas that appear in many of his later, published
works.  I found it particularly interesting in its views on the Federal
Reserve and Central Banks in general -- people had a much better
understanding in the '30s of the dangers of these institutions than they do
today.
