Leonard Pierce, that is a great story
However, the big reveal at the end about the church is tempered a bit by the fact that the current pope once wore a swastika himself. (And I'm pretty sure nobody at the time gave him the stinkeye.)

That game, I must have it
I'm calling my Uncle Jim about his old Atari 2600. I want to experience life as an army doctor by, it would seem, sprinting from Korea to Burbank.

FCC Chairman Richard Wiley

I'm hoping my pilot "Neck of the Woods" will be picked up for mid-season. Its about a forest ranger named John Neck.

Kid?

Whatever happened to Grover, anyway? These days its all Elmo. I know one of them died. It was either Grover or Mr. Hooper.

You chickened out before the end!
