Great collection this time out..
Korean Warn continues, as we see some war footage as well as surrendered koreans to be taken away, "haven given up communism for good"
Ike and his wife meet his son John returning home from the war. I love footage of old presidents, and I'm not American. I'm tired of seeing the usual footage of the same presidnets on CNN...
Another election is held in Germany, where the chancellor is campaigning, but the opponents, APPARENTLY the communists, arent allowed to distribute any of their literature. Huh? What kind of election is THAT when you're surpressing your competition. Sure they're communists, but still that's quite opressive. Surprisingly, the good germans win.
After that GREEAT footage is shown about the attempted assasination of a sultan in Morocco. We even see the agressor stab a guard before knocked to the ground. Just amazing!
Another sea rescue is shown, great footage of the sinking liner.
An art exhibit of stamp art is shown, pretty interesting about how they go about it, and the amazing detail that is put into it,
Grand Coulee Dam is then profiled. I could be wrong, but I think the exact same footage is in another stand alone file on this site.
After that a GREAT and entertaining demonstration about the fun one can have with fire and chemicals is shown. really, this is a great segment where the scientists create explosions, weird brown stuff and 'art'. Quite amazing.
After this, more explosions, only this time it's from Atomic Annie, the first Atomic cannon. You've seen NOTHING like this. I assure you.
After that, we go to the Andes, where tribes relocate their houses to a more stable place, and where they can get amenities supposedly like education and medicine. They strap there houses on a boat and afloat they go..
After that, is a somewhat flat and "who needed that?" tribute to Teddy Roosevelt, we get a tour of Secamor House, and we hear the only recording of his voice. Ehhh.
Really nice round up this time.
