A fascinating time capsule from 1971. Thirty minutes long, but watch at least the first five or so.

Merry (Weird) Christmas!

My pal Ed Morris sent me this 1956 book. Was there ever such an innocent time? The text is quite reasonable and sensible and not overly evangelical, so I could not really find any silly passages to scan. The dreamy cover will have to suffice.
