The 1961 edition is the crucial variation, modified by Heinlein himself. The later unedited variation supplied by his widow is a travesty, as it is careless, and leaves out the singular important line in the whole preliminary edition– Heinlein’s analysis of “Love” as “That issue in which an extra individual’s joy is required to your own.” I referred Mr. Heinlein completely in the 1970s, and here are his really own words associating with these 2 variations of SISL:.
” SISL was never ever censored by any private in any sort of design. The preliminary draft was practically two times as long as the launched variation.

Mike along with Jubal are 2 of the most likeable characters ever developed (in my perspective) along with their development throughout the story paints it as a growing for both of them, in some lights.
