RAH is probably best known for "TANSTAAFL", used by many without
attribution.

His later work trended more towards fantasy than SF IMHO. He lost me
about the time he wrote "Stranger in a Strange Land".

As with Asimov, his non-fiction was quite good, though nowhere near as
widely circulated as his fiction.

Did you know RAH used to be roomates with a fellow named L. Ron Hubbard?
