    Here is another interesting one with William Shatner working out his amazingly deadly two handed thumping Star Trek fighting style.

    Do you have the episode where Jack Klugman plays a blacklisting victim? He won an Emmy for his performance.

    Also do you have the one with Dennis Hopper as a neo-Nazi? It has scenes where Hopper's character acts up in court and make a spectacle of himself. According to an interview with Hopper I once saw, Charles Manson admitted to watching this episode, and then copying it in his actions at his own trial.

    The one with Dennis Hopper that you refer to is titled "The Indelible Silence," and I'll check, but I don't think it's been posted.

    I don't think I have the Jack Klugman episode either, but at the 20 minute mark in the below interview, he talks about that episode.

    Here is an important, near forgotten piece of television and national history. Join Rober Reed, EG Marshall, James Earl Jones, Ivan Dixon, and Mark Leonard in perhaps one of the deepest looks into the non-violence movement ever depicted on television. This brilliantly written episode takes viewers black and white, young and old on a journey through the inner motivations and struggles of all sides of the non-violent movement, with characters that they can identify with no matter where they stand on the issues at hand.



    This episode, more than any I have watched, shows just what a travesty it is that this show is not available in any format nor is it in any syndication package. This episode should be required viewing when studying the civil rights movement and non-violent protest.
