[SKRIVA] Heinlein-novelltävlingen

(Info om en novelltävling i Robert Heinleins fotspår, från http://www.
heinleinsociety.org/contest.html . Här är infon något omlayoutad, men all info 
finns med. Notera att man förstås måste skriva på engelska, utländska /icke-
amerikanska/ bidrag verkar inte uteslutas, men att man inte bara kan utan skall 
sända bidrag via E-mail. I övrigt verkar reglerna okomplicerade Deadline 1 
juni. --AE)
