I was suspicious about info on the web ... can't blame a gal for that! When I searched TAN~ I kept ending up with "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" as the Heinline source of the phrase.
BUT The Moon~ was published in 1966. TAN~ appears in "Stranger in a Strange Land" and that was published in -- ta dah! -- 1961. So that is one "internet fact" disproven. TAN~ may have been the basis of "The Moon~ " but Heinlin had previously used it as an important concept within ~Stranger ~" -- Arachne V1.71;UE01, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
