I like your take on "Alpha"

And I'm actually ready to revisit Heinlein it's been twenty years-- no what actually started bugging me was his "old guy" personas up to and including Lazurus Long, always were involved with very young, beautiful girls/women. Of course he was a product of his times, and at least he addressed gender politics

He is a great author, and it's been too long to hold a resentment. I will have the enjoyment of rereading his books with a mature (more or less) mind.
