- TriviaWhile 99 is handling routine stamp redemption, an African-American man asks for a poster of Governor Wallace...and a box of darts. Governor Wallace was the governor of Alabama and a hardcore racist. He opposed desegregation ... standing at the very door of one school to block black students from being admitted. He was paralyzed during an assassination attempt in 1972 and spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Featured review
A prophetic episode
My disdain for George Wallace had me laughing out loud when the (uncredited) Black man at the Redemption Center told 99 he'd like the George Wallace poster. 99 tells him, "That will be one book." When he hands TWO books to 99 she tells him, "No, you gave me two books; the Wallace poster is only one book." His perfect reply is, "Yes, but I'd also like a set of darts!"
Also interesting, is a comment made by one of the KAOS agents who calls for his fellow agents to, "pick up arms for a revolution to storm Congress and attack the Capital." When this episode aired in 1969 it was an absurd notion that a group of insurgents would attack the U. S. Capital and launch an insurrection. Little did they know that 52 years later it actually happened. And... it was the "law and order" far-right, Republicans who were the instigators of the January 6, 2021 U. S. Capitol attack - a mob of Trump supporting extremists who created their own brand of "chaos" that resulted in five people dying, either shortly before, during, or following the event.
