You see, my wife, she's a big historical materialism fan. She loves that guy... aw geez, what was his name again? Lenin? Anyway, she was telling me without a revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement. Isn't that something?

Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it cause you have a lot of books about this stuff. It's funny to me, though, they all look brand new.

I've wondered how much of this episode was cold war brainworms and how much was "need to crank out scripts + topical for the time event + general nihilism + compulsory twist".

For a while I had assumed Rod Serling was cool because I erroneously thought he was the blacklisted writer behind Planet of the Apes but this episode slapped me right out of it.
