Actually, he wrote two episodes: Amok Time and Shore Leave; both

Well I could send everyone to electronic history books for the full story;
but what Farnsworth accomplished was the first all-electronic television
image.  There were earlier televisions based on scanning the image with
a rotating disk containing a spiral arrangement of holes, or lenses.
The names of Baird (already mentioned by somebody) and Nipkow come to mind.

This reminds me of a military legend.  The way I heard it was, an Army guy

hands afterwards.  "We Army people always wash our hands after we pee," he
told the Navy guy, who was preparing to leave.  "We Navy people never pee on

Roddi

That ready wit, which you so partially allow me, ... may create many admirers;
but, take my word for it, it makes few friends.  It shines and dazzles like
the noonday sun, but, like that, too, it is very apt to scorch, and therefore
is always feared.  The milder morning and evening light and heat of that
planet soothe and calm our minds.  Never seek for wit; if it present itself,
well and good; but even then, let your judgement interpose, and take care
that it be not at the expense of anybody.

                                    - Philip Dormer Stanhope,
                                      4th earl of Chesterfield,
                                      1749

... Nature, whose sweet rains fall of just and unjust alike, will have 
clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence
I may weep undetected.  She will hang the night with stars so that I may
walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my
footprints so that none may track me to my hurt: she will cleanse me in
great waters, and with bitter herbs make me whole.

I could have sworn I saw this in someone's sig recently, and they attributed it to Frank Zappa

I don't recall having heard Laurie Anderson mention it at all - I have all of her stuff on CD and

Um, not exactly how I remembered it. In fact, this seems much too
American in both form and content, and not very Churchillian. I remember it as:

"A man who is not a socialist at twenty has no heart, but a man who is
still a socialist at thirty has no brain". 

I picked this up at second hand; as I recall it was quoted by Jonas Savimbi

	Are you sure?  It still may be Laurie Anderson quoting W.S. Burroughs.
She was in to his stuff in a big way.  Many of her songs contain quotes from
his books.  He even appeared in her concert movie, "Home of the Brave".  I
