2. _The Heinlein Letters: Volume I: Correspondence of John
W. Campbell, Jr., and Robert A. Heinlein_ (2011) >>https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?390193

The first is cheap on Kindle. Thought it was free online but maybe
that was the collected editorials.

would you have a pointer to the editorials? There's one I've
been looking for [a] and would love to find it online.

[a] roughly 1975ish, where he discussed the "neutron bomb"
("enhanced radiation nuclear weapons") which was being
promoted as a way for "us" (the US) to kill off the
troops in Warsaw Pact tanks. Campbell suggested this
could backfire, as the crews would realize they'd
be dead in a week so had nothing to lose.

Thanks

I don't think that one is included.

Thanks again. Looks like that archive is from
the "collected book", and alas, the editorial
I want isn't there.

But fascinating reading nonetheless.
