Fifty years ago tonight, Rod Serling took Americans into The Twilight Zone, when his new television series made its debut on CBS. Many have never really returned. The anniversary will be marked tonight at Ithaca College, where Serling taught from 1967 until his death in 1975.  Here and Now host Robin Young was one of his students, and today we are re-broadcasting a piece about Robin's visit to the college for a 2007 conference on Serling's work. The school is hosting a similar conference this weekend.
