"At first glance, the fact that Robert Heinlein won four Hugo awards in =
the 11 years from 1956 to 1967 suggests a lack of adventure among the =
voters. But his victorious novels are all so different, so difficult and =
so contrarian, not to mention so very far off the wall, that really the =
voters should be commended for their bravery."

"Yet, unlike Rand, Heinlein never becomes entirely boring."
