The speaker is Carl Oglesby, one of the founders of Students For A Democratic Society, SDS, a radical antiwar organization. I was making my 6 part PBS television series, Making Sense of the Sixties and I picked to film the people I thought most powerfully articulated their experiences. Carl was one. Every comment he made could have been transcribed and written a book. Whether or not you agree with his point of view, he was brilliantly articulate at expressing it.

He was a lifelong newspaperman and the editor of the Adair County Free Press (now part of the Carroll Daily Times). I conducted this interview with him in 1989 speaking about the 1950s and 1960s. His ancestors started the newspaper 125 years before he and his brother sold it later in their lives. I was trying to get perspective from Americans of all stripes and he felt he was painting a picture of the way most of the folks in this town felt back then.

Jack Beatty is a veteran political commentator–journalist, author, senior editor at the Atlantic and one of the hosts on NPR On Point. I did this interview in 1989. I find him so entertaining to listen to–blunt–clearheaded–energetic. I was amazed when I found this clip just how relevant what he was talking about – President Nixon in his final days –and our current situation with our current president. I saw plenty of parallels. I hope you do as well. #trump2020 #maga #nixon #americanhistory

This is a clip from my collection of material shot during the 1950s and 60s my generation, the baby boomers. The 1960s became the time when consumerism was pushed on our generation with great success. But many young people were confused by it as these students indicate. You can see many clips from this timeframe on my YouTube channel by searching the words either 1950s or 1960s. #consumerism #1950sconsumers #1960steenagers

I have always been interested in the suburbs – where they came from – how they grew so fast after World War II. This documentary clip was made by the government to help GIs and their families feel confident that housing would be made available outside the "squalor" of the cities.

I am not saying his judgment is correct. I am saying that it sounds like someone speaking about how many see our president today. #trump2020 #maga #nixon #americanhistory #politics

I was interviewing experts for my feature-length documentary Sputnik Mania and this woman brought up operation paperclip – the secret program created after World War II to bring German rocket scientists to the United States. You can look it up to find out lots about it. An amazing story that allowed us to get Werner von Braun and other greats.
