From: Steven Gutfreund <gutfreund.umass-cs@UDel-Relay> Does anyone know what parts of the 1st segment were cut becuase of the helicopter crash. Just a brief plot outline is what I am looking for. - Steven Gutfreund Gutfreund.umass-cs@udel-relay

From: Haruka Takano <Takano%hplabs.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa> Here's something I saw in the April 24 edition of the San Jose Mercury, in ``The Grapevine'' section of the paper: Producer Phil DeGuere has purchased from Rod Serling's estate the rights to Serling's "The Night of the Meek" short story - for use in the resurrected version of Serling's vintage "The Twilight Zone" series. Believing the upcoming CBS show will only be as successful as its writing, he's also buying up works by world-class science and psychological fiction authors. Already secured is Stephen King's "Gramma" short story, Arthur C. Clarke's "The Star," Robert Heinlein's "By His Bootstraps," Michael Cassutt's "Red Snow," Wes Cravens's "Perfect Strangers," and Robert R. McCannon's "Nightcrawlers." There will also be a translation of Ray Bradbury's "The Burning Man" and "The Elevator" - and an original Bradbury has written for the show. Also, segments created by Harlan Ellison, who's serving as the "Zone's" supervising writer. Anyone know how reliable these rumors are? I assume the new ``Zone'' is scheduled for the `85 fall season. Anyone know whether they've started production on the series yet? Who'll be the narrator(s)? Haruka Takano -------
