Sun, 8 October 2006 Backwards in time again, to 1954 and the beginning of Eisenhower's Interstate Highway System. We'll listen to excerpts from a promotional film from General Motors, called "Give Yourself the Green Light". I think it'll surprise you. The people of 1954 were facing many of the problems we're facing today, and transportation engineers are stuck using the same logic they did then (no offense, Eduardo- you're one of the good ones). If you actually want to watch the film, go to the Prelinger Collection, an incredibly useful archive: http://www.archive.org/details/GiveYour1954 Comments[3] |
