Rod Serling creator of The Twilight Zone, understood all too well the danger of turning a blind eye to evil in our midst, the “things that scream for a response.” As Serling warned, “if we don’t listen to that scream – and if we don’t respond to it – we may well wind up sitting amidst our own rubble, looking for the truck that hit us – or the bomb that pulverized us. Get the license number of whatever it was that destroyed the dream. And I think we will find that the vehicle was registered in our own name.” STORY AT: https://thefreethoughtproject.com/battlefield-america-war-people/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ3D9Yego58

Smile by Victor Young, 1954.
Smile is a song based on an instrumental theme used in the soundtrack for the 1936 Chaplin film 'Modern Times'. Chaplin could not read music and needed the help of professional composers, and yet he composed music for many of his films. He taught himself to play the piano, violin, and cello. His tunes were put to paper in a close collaboration with composers and musicians. According to film historian Jeffrey Vance, "although he relied upon associates to arrange varied and complex instrumentation, the musical imperative is his, and not a note in a Chaplin musical score was placed there without his assent." Smile was originally sung by Nat King Cole in 1954.
