This is part of a 1-hr show about the history of the Jeep. This part covers the Jeep's break-neck seven-week development period at Bantam, up to its introduction into World War II. They were remarkable vehicles, and loved by millions of GIs, including my dad.

From You Tube:

In 2007, after being banned for almost a century, absinthe became legal in the United States. The re-evaluation came after European distillers pressured American officials to conduct real research on the supposed deleterious effects of the herbal liqueur. With scientific data debunking the common public misconception that traditional absinthe caused hallucinations or had toxic side effects, the U.S. government lifted the ban and brought glee to American absinthe connoisseurs and distillers. But among the general public many of the myths still prevail. To help set the record straight Laurence Liss, Web Editor for Outside's Go, went to Alameda, California to speak with Lance Winters, Distiller at St. George Spirits, the first American absinthe producer in nearly 100 years.

Teaserama is a movie from 1955. There isn't much of a plot there are just various Burlesque acts and comedy acts throughout the film. It features the reason I want to build a time machine, Bettie Page.
