 "Wish Book": teleplay, first broadcast on TWILIGHT ZONE, Friday, the
18th of October, 1985.

     One way to judge a story is by how little wasted time (or few
wasted words) it has.  The ten-minute TWILIGHT ZONE stories measure up
well on this yardstick.  This one had a good idea, and reasonably good
execution.  (It would have been stronger if the lead character was
portrayed as a little more careful.  She *was* shrewd, which helped a
lot.) The ending was both familiar and inconsistant, but not too much of
a letdown.
