Robert Anson Heinlein was born in Missouri in 1907, and was raised there. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1929, but was forced by illness to retire from the Navy in 1934. He settled in California and over the next five years held a variety of jobs while doing post-graduate work in mathematics and physics at the University of California. In 1939 he sold his first science fiction story to Astounding magazine and soon devoted himself to the genre. He was a four-time winner of the Hugo Award for his novels Stranger in a Strange Land (1961), Starship Troopers (1959), Double Star (1956), and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966). His Future History series, incorporating both short stories and novels, was first mapped out in 1941. The series charts the social, political, and technological changes shaping human society from the present through several centuries into the future. Robert A. Heinlein's books were among the first works of science fiction to reach bestseller status in both hardcover and paperback. he continued to work into his eighties, and his work never ceased to amaze, to entertain, and to generate controversy. By the time hed died, in 1988, it was evident that he was one of the formative talents of science fiction: a writer whose unique vision, unflagging energy, and persistence, over the course of five decades, made a great impact on the American mind.… (mer)

First printed in 1952, reprinted in '67, these stories exemplify the 'social' SciFi: technical details are irrelevant and the social repercussions of an idea/technology taken to an extreme. Almost all of these stories were written by accomplished authors and are fairly polished in their style and execution and deserving of a re-read...even if they're not "exciting" by today's standards.

A classic early anthology by "the youthful dean of science-fiction writers."
  languagehat | Feb 22, 2006 |
Scifi anthology edited by Heinlein (and, uncredited, Frederik Pohl & Judith Merril). It doesn't contain any of his stories, but he did write the Preface. ( )

I'm very badly scared, not so much for myself - I'm a gray-haired man of sixty-six, after all - but for you and everyone else who has not yet lived out his life.

From: The Tourist Trade - Judy climbed the stairs at a brisk trot and the bedroom door slammed in its usual fashion. It was opened again and Judy trotted back down just as briskly. She put her head into the living room. “Daddy?” “Uh-what?” He came up from the depths of the book. “The ghost says you had better come up there or else.” “Indeed! Or else what?” “Or else he’ll report you.” Donald slammed the book to the floor. Judy jumped in alarm. “Well, Daddy, he did. He did!” the girl cried. “Judy – you get right back up those stairs and tell that ghost I’m not coming up to meet him. Not until he plays ‘Yankee Doodle’ on the saxophone. Get that?” “Yes, Daddy.” “All right then, get moving. And good night!” “Good night, Daddy.” The young feet retraced the path up the stairs and the young hands gave the bedroom door a thumping slam. After that the silence from the second floor was a welcome thing. “There,” Donald said in triumph. “I told you I’d handle her. Tact. That’s all it takes, tact.” He dropped into the overstuffed chair and sought his place in the mystery novel. From Judy’s bedroom came the loud, blaring sound of a saxophone tearing into “Yankee Doodle.”
