one for the angels

Remember that today marks the beginning of the SciFi Channel's traditional Twilight Zone marathon of the New Year. I am quite happy to see that today's schedule includes one of the show's sweetest episodes, One for the Angels.

Lewis J. Bookman, age sixtyish. Occupation: Pitchman. Formerly a fixture of the summer, formerly a rather minor component to a hot July. But throughout his life, a man beloved by the children, and therefore a most important man. Couldn't happen, you say? Probably not in most places, but it did happen in the Twilight Zone.
