Cold War Air Defense: NORAD (System
425L) and SAGE
During the
early stages of the Cold War, and the dawn of
modern computing, the enormous
U.S. Air Force projects to build the NORAD
Cheyenne Mountain Complex (known
officially as "System 425L"), and the massive SAGE
air defense computer
system, were in full swing. Do you recall those impressive computer
consoles with
all the blinking lights from Lost in Space,
Time Tunnel, and
other Irwin Allen
television productions? Many of them were actually decommissioned SAGE
hardware!
Now hear two fascinating short Air Force
informational productions dating
from the time of both projects' original heydays in the 1950's and
60's!

Orson Welles' Commercial Voiceover
Session!
Many years ago, a television commercial
"voiceover" recording session
being conducted with the legendary actor, writer, producer,
and director Orson Welles didn't go very well, to
say the least.
The ad copy was inane, and Welles wasn't in a mood to put up
with any nonsense. In the years since then, a recording of segments
from
this session has become
the subject of parodies, comments, and speculation, both inside and
outside the broadcasting industry. Now hear for yourself the original
recording behind it all! (~4 Minutes)
