This Week In '66 - The Draft

 

With Lynn Peril

In early December 1966, a four-day conference attended by academics, politicians, military strategists, and students discussed the future of the draft law, which was set to expire the following year. The war in Vietnam lent added incentive to change the draft’s inequities, and sent hundreds of young men over the border into Canada. Also in the news this week in ‘66, a vandal slashes paintings hanging in the U.S. Capitol in what was suspected to be the worst attack on the building since 1814.

Ross Perot Speaks Out: Straight Talking Answers To Today's Tough Questions

"Ross Perot, the Texas billionaire who has captured the nation's attention, speaks out in a freewheeling, far-ranging, straight-talking interview with Emmy Award-winning journalist David Frost. Now you can spend an hour with Ross Perot, the man everyone wants to know more about, as he faces off with one of television's toughest interviewers to share his views on the issues at the heart of the American agenda. From the federal deficit, abortion rights, and the presidential election process to the deeply held convictions that shape his personal values, here are the answers to the questions America is asking. More important, here is Perot the man -- in his own words, in his own voice -- in an audio portrait more immediate, intimate, and personally revealing than a stack of cover stories and bestselling instant books. A rare opportunity to hear history in the making, Ross Perot Speaks Out allows you to hear for yourself the man who has America talking -- and what he has to say to us."

This Week in '66 with Lynn Peril

On November 12, 1966, 1000 people, many of them teenagers, gathered in front of Pandora’s Box, a “teener nightclub” sitting on a traffic island on the Sunset Strip. They were there to protest against police enforcement of a 10:00 p.m. curfew. When a fender-bender turned into a fistfight, things got out of hand. Thus began the fabled riot on Sunset Strip. Check it out--this week in 66!

This Week In '66

 

With Lynn Peril

The 1966 television season was particularly brutal for new shows. This week, we'll take a look at some of the ones that didn't make to a second season. Also, I misspoke when I was recording this episode. As some of you no doubt already know, "My Mother the Car" featured a 1928 Porter, not a Model T Ford.
