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 ~"
