75 days since Isaac Asimov's 90th birthday on January 2.

I remember reading a short story in which Isaac Asimov was still alive
in the year 2010 and dealing with a problem involving Three Law robots.
Has anyone here read such a story.

No, but I'd like to.

I think it's in _The Number of the Beast_ by Robert Heinlein that the
near-future characters discuss possibly solving a problem by visiting
Isaac Asimov, putting a pretty young woman in his lap, and describing
the difficulty, but this plan is not put into effect - sorry Dr. A.

I forget whether the problem was specifically with the robot flying
car.

My father was at Boston at the same time as Asimov, and they became
friends.

My oldest brother peed on his lap at dinner.

I don't know what my sibs did their gifts, but I still have my
autographed copies of the Foundation trilogy, all wrapper up in
plastic wrap.

I don't recall it being in "The Number of the Beast".
