The Sun Shines Bright 1953 John Ford
Rod Serling – Studio One Drama – The Strike
A small group of U.S. soldiers, cold, out of supplies and isolated, are taking cover in a ruined farmhouse during the Korean war. The officer in charge is tormented that a patrol he sent out to scout the enemy is overdue and contact lost. In a weak, one way radio signal, the patrol states their position. When further orders come in, the officer realizes he must order an air strike on the enemy that would surely kill the patrol, or risk the enemy mounting an attack on the rest of his forces.

A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens
A Christmas Carol is a novella by English author Charles Dickens, first published by Chapman & Hall on 19 December 1843. The story tells of sour and stingy Ebenezer Scrooge’s ideological, ethical, and emotional transformation after the supernatural visits of Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. The novella met with instant success and critical acclaim.
The book was written and published in early Victorian era Britain when it was experiencing a nostalgic interest in its forgotten Christmas traditions, and at the time when new customs such as the Christmas tree and greeting cards were being introduced. Dickens’ sources for the tale appear to be many and varied but are principally the humiliating experiences of his childhood, his sympathy for the poor, and various Christmas stories and fairy tales.
The tale has been viewed by critics as an indictment of 19th-century industrial capitalism. It has been credited with restoring the holiday to one of merriment and festivity in Britain and America after a period of sobriety and sombreness. A Christmas Carol remains popular, has never been out of print, and has been adapted to film, stage, opera, and other media multiple times.
