Liberal as in "a very liberal interpretation" You'll get lots of different
opinions of what the book's theme is, some of them quite different (mostly,
I've noticed, dependant on whether the reviewer likes Heinlein or not), but I
have yet to see _anyone_ describe the book as "Ken and Barbie save the
universe" - which was the description a friend of mine gave the movie. I
don't think it could have been described more aptly.
