Robert Heinlein on Sci-Fi Fandom During World War II

Here is a fascinating letter. It's an angry rant too, as well as a glimpse into the thoughts of a sci fi icon.

Heinlein's passionately ranting so expect some exaggerations, but there is a kernel of truth to some of what he says too. Take for instance this: "I find many other evidences of group paranoia and of psychotic infantilism---and unwillingness to face up to adult problems and to cope with them." Hmmmmm.
