Ok, our household is having a dilema. While cleaning up from dinner, I had a flash of memory about a book that I had read and although all of us have read it, none of us can remember what the heck it is

Sadly yes. "Fair Witness"--it's Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land.

I feel so lame.

Does she wear white or am I confusing something else with Heinlein?

[tahnan]

No, that's right: when on duty, a Fair Witness wears a white robe. Why do I know these things?

[rikchik]

Because it's Heinlein's one good book! (OK, that's a little unfair - I'm thinking of On A Pale Horse.)

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. Anne was the character, and she wore her robe when performing her duties as a Fair Witness.

Sorry, totally unrelated. But I need to get in touch with you via possibly borrowing that manual meat grinder thingie you mentioned to Ro. Could you email me? kaz AT chaosreigns dot com.
