The Dean's List

A carnival literally larger than life; Labyrinthine cities on the surface of the moon; A fantastic new weapon of war changes all the rules; One city's most colorful resident is the wind itself; A knot in the fabric of time links three very different personalities.

ARTC is proud to present The Dean's List, fully dramatized adaptations of some of the most famous short stories by Robert A. Heinlein, the Dean of Science Fiction.

The Man Who Traveled in Elephants
Once there was a traveling salesman, a Man Who Traveled in Elephants. For years he traveled with his beloved wife. Now he travels alone and all the Carnivals and Festivals and State Fairs are blending together. Of all the human sorrows, loss and loneliness are perhaps the greatest. But there is the faint sound of a distant calliope in the air and the sugary scent of cotton candy and popcorn.
And something wonderful is about to happen to the Man Who Traveled in Elephants.

 
The Menace From Earth
Holly Jones, fifteen, born and raised on Luna, has her course plotted--she's going into spaceship design with her partner Jeff Hardesty ("I am not romantic about him, we're simply partners"). But the Earth-Moon shuttle brings a wild card named Ariel Brentwood, and Holly watches her plans deflate like a leaky space suit.
 
Solution Unsatisfactory
Before Pearl Harbor, before the war in Europe became a World War, Robert A Heinlein considered the consequences of an unrestricted arms race. He foresaw the possibility of a "cold war", a time of tensions and uncertainty with both major powers possessing doomsday weapons - and increasingly itchy trigger fingers.
