I've been thinking hard about buttons this week, as I reread Time Enough for Love for the first time in 15 years. Leaving aside the discovery of how much unconscious borrowing I've done over the years (I hadn't realized the heroine of "Her First Affair" shadows Minerva quite so closely), my reactions are ... well, let's just say there's reasons it pushes my buttons -- it programmed some of them.
"The Tale of the Adopted Daughter" gets me every time.
