    It's really good. You just think you know about a person, then you read and realize, no, you don't. I recommend it - not just because it's Rod Serling. It's a really good story of the man, the times, and his relationships. I am liking it a lot!

    No Loop doctrine. Although I know from whence you speak. The only other title I can remember was "The Forgotten War" I believe by Clay Blair. Since the Cavalry battalion I was assigned to was positioned in Paju county north of Seoul, ROK it seemed pertinent.
