I am especially curious about the &#8220;Angry Letters&#8221; folder that &#8220;includes correspondence from Harry Ruby (March 10 and March 11, 1964) and Groucho Marx (March 10, 1964) congratulating Serling for his letter to the <em>Los Angeles Times<\/em> in which he criticized Morrie Ryskind for the inconsistencies of his defense of the political right.&#8221; More information about Mr. Serling can be found by searching the Library&#8217;s biographical databases, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/libproxy.uww.edu:9443\/login?url=http:\/\/hwwilsonweb.com\/\">Biography Reference Bank Select<\/a> (WilsonWeb). I remember seeing quite a few <em>Twilight Zone<\/em> episodes, but the one I remember best is &#8220;To Serve Man.&#8221; I was able to enjoy part of it again on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">YouTube<\/a>, and you can, too! <\/p>\n<p>Please <a href=\"http:\/\/library.uww.edu\/askwi\/askwi.html\">ask a librarian<\/a> for assistance with finding materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Boulton, UWW History Dept., will give a talk, &#8220;&#8220;Take this stand&#8221;: Rod Serling and the politics of the Twilight Zone on Monday, October 25, at 3 p.m. in Fellowship Hall of the Fairhaven Retirement Community.
