Interesting it is from 1948 the same year Orwell released his book 1984 which reversed the 4 and 8 to make the title.

Boy, does all that sound familiar! I guess there really isn’t anything new under the sun...especially around 8:35! Was that Reagan’s ‘shining city on a hill’ there at the end?

good stuff. I hope it can be “re-made” for the modern generation.
