Heinlein's wife is very active in maintaining and protecting
his works -- she controls what gets reprinted -- and his
files. They worked as a team while he was alive, traveled
together, etc. She has a lot of business savvy (he was no
slouch, either), and has always protected his interests.
Vigorously.
