... that Leon Uris called Rod Serling's In the Presence of Mine Enemies "the most disgusting presentation in the history of American television" and demanded that its negative be burned? Source: "Among those who had taken offense was prominent novelist Leon Uris, who sent a telegram to CBS president Frank Stanton calling the show 'the most disgusting presentation in the history of American television' and demanding that CBS 'burn the negative of this film and publicly apologize for this outrage." Parisi, "Rod Serling: His Life, Work, and Imagination".
- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

Reviewed: Waiting for a Train

Article is new and long enough, no copyvios, and the hook and article are thought-provoking. As well as the QPQ, the book citation would need a page number to be properly verifiable. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 18:54, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ritchie333: Unfortunately, google books does not give the page number in the preview version that I use. You can pull it by searching the quote in google books ... or you can read the full text of Uris's telegram here which I've added to the article as a backup source for the hook. I've also added the QPQ. Cbl62 (talk) 19:37, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can get page number on Google Books here, so I've added them in. In doing so, I've also verified the hook so I'm happy to give this a straight pass since the QPQ's also done. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 19:46, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
