Antioch College Connections to the CIA, Ruth Paine & John Kennedy Murder
#4
Since you mentioned Rod Serling at the top, I should point out that he was a huge fan of JFK, and one of the greatest voices of conscience and social criticism in the entertainment industry during those years. He also wrote the screenplay to the film Seven Days in May.

"Rod had an open mind to the good, the bad and the in-between of technology. He was a guarded optimist until the Kennedy assassination. After that, his work reflected his sense of hopelessness."

Mr. Brode said that Serling's father, a middle-class grocer, lost his business in the Depression, so Rod had an early lesson in reversals. Serling also had a devastating experience while serving in World War II. During a lull at the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Pacific, he was standing with his arm around a good friend and they were having their picture taken. At that moment, an Air Force plane dropped a box of extra ammunition that landed on Serling's friend and flattened him so fatally that he couldn't even be seen under the box.

"Many 'Zone' episodes are about that split-second of fate where somebody arbitrarily gets spared or, absurdly, does not," Mr. Brode said.
