More Scenes from the "Golden Age" of Science Fiction

Above: Author Robert Heinlein among some fans at the 1962 Worldcon. I was never a huge Heinlein fan, but I do like some of his books quite a bit, especially A Door Into Summer. I may be a bit biased against him because in his later years he was, as Isaac Asimov put it, a "rock-ribbed conservative."
