SERLING, Rod (1924-1975). Nine typed letters signed ("Rod Serling" and "Rod") and one autograph postcard signed, Pacific Palisades, 21 February 1961-8 May 1970. Together 9½ pages, 4to and oblong 8vo.
21 February 1961: Serling says he is "far from being adverse to the notion of doing something for PLAYBOY, I'm rather excited by the prospect... Finding the time to do such is yet another story. This damned TWILIGHT ZONE occupies the bulk of my working day..."
15 April 1966: Relating to the George Lincoln Rockwell interview: "I anticipate that you people shall probably be roundly roasted for the recent Rockwell interview... My guess is that in this case exposure is tantamount to education and education, here, is a most salutory instruction into the mentalities, the motives and the modus operandi of an animal pack who are discounted by the one aged maxim that 'it can't happen here'... Yes, gentleman, you may be knocked for supposedly lending some kind of credence to a brand of lunacy. But my guess is you should be given a commendation for a public service of infitinite value."
