On this day in 1964, one of my friend Harlan Ellison's masterpieces -- "Demon With A Glass Hand" -- first aired on the Outer Limits. Here's the description from IMDB: "Days ago, Trent awoke with no memory of his past. Since then, sinister men have pursued him constantly. He manages to stay one step ahead of them by following the advice of his hand. Made of glass and apparently capable of speech, Trent's hand can answer many of his questions. But it cannot tell him who he is or why his enemies seek him until he finds all of its fingers. The only trouble is that they're in the hands of his enemies."
