That one with the fortune telling devil machine. Hmm, what was it called? Stopover in a Small Town was it? Also, methinks we should have a couple questions per post. Heh. Just to fill it up some. ---

1. This future movie icon co-starred in an episode with a non-speaking Samantha Stevens from _Bewitched_. 2. Samantha’s TV mother-in-law also handled a whole episode without uttering a line – who was she? 3. Name two silent film legends who starred in TZ episodes. 4. And finally, name the two episodes that did not involve any supernatural phenomena (hint – one of them involved [keeping with the theme], silence). (All this is off the top of my head – apologies if I’ve flubbed details). **Baker** – IIRC, it was called, “In Praise of Pip”, and it rated a ruling from the CBS lawyers on whether it touched on classified information. On preview, _dammit Johnny!_ ---
