Anybody have a copy of RAH's "Life Line"?

There was a scene in there where the life insurance companies were
trying to shut down a guy who had developed a machine that would tell
you the exact date and time of your death, (thus bankrupting the life
insurance companies).

The remarks from the judge, who basically said the same thing as quoted
above, were great, Heinlein at his best IMHO.
