“Whether you agree or disagree with what you will hear, we feel that none will deny the right of these views to be broadcast.”
A friend recently told me about a project at the University of Texas in which 1950’s era interviews by Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame. The name of the show was The Mike Wallace Interview.
There are some really interesting subjects here: Reinhold Niebuhr, Margaret Sanger, Aldous Huxley, Malcolm Muggeridge and others. Each appears to be about 30 minutes long and carries the original ABC lead-ins and Mike pitching, and smoking, Phillip Morris cigarettes (his sponsor). The worst part of each episode is the theme music which is laughably bad; it sounds like a Saturday Sci-Fi channel movie.
This link to the lineup an be found here.
Marty,
Thank you for pointing us to a tremendous resource.

Excellent. Seems that some of this is the match which sparked the flame of today.
