Chayefsky's Notes on Network

It's always interesting to me to look inside another writer's process of cracking a story.  Seeing how lost they felt, at certain points, is reassuring.  Seeing how doggedly they pursued their stories is encouraging.  So I liked reading this article in the New York Times about Paddy Chayefsky's notes on "Network" that are preserved in the New York Public Library.  This movie is on my "re-watch soon!" list -- now, more than ever.

Are you mad as hell?
