My favourite Christian apologist, C. S. Lewis, Anglican and brilliant man, died this day - 11/22/1963.

Also, Aldous Huxley, and it seems like there was one more...

75th Anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack which brought the United States into the Second World War.

Number Six: Where am I?
Number Two: In the Village.
Number Six: What do you want?
Number Two: Information.
Number Six: Whose side are you on?
Number Two: That would be telling. We want information… information… information.
Number Six: You won't get it.
Number Two: By hook or by crook, we will.
Number Six: Who are you?
Number Two: The new Number Two.
Number Six: Who is Number One?
Number Two: You are Number Six.
Number Six: I am not a number! I am a free man!

On this day in 1964, The Twilight Zone aired its series finale: The Bewitchin' Pool, written by Mr B's friend Earl Hamner.

June 23, 2013: Richard Matheson passed.

September 8, 1966: a new TV series called STAR TREK premieres on NBC. And the rest, as they say, is history.
