Yes, the Friday cross-reference thing is a great prediction. But it's very clearly based on what you do when you go to the library and read books there...you run across something interesting and just go look it up. All Heinlein did (and it's a lot, of course) was to replace "wouldn't it be nice if I didn't have to get up to get this stuff?" with "what if I _didn't_ have to get up?"
The moral of the story is that human behavior today can be mined for human behavior tomorrow. But then, you all knew that.
Pennsauken, NJ is actually across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, if I understand correctly. The family lives on Marion Avenue, according to local Pennsauken newspaper reports. I would say that a package would easily reach him there, as he'll be at Walter Reed first and then going home.
Especially if you write "Science Fiction Books" on the outside.... :) Then his parents will know to take it with them to the hospital.
