Lesbian and Gay Pride, 1988
Lesbian and Gay Pride Marches were community affairs in the early days. There were no barriers between the viewers and the marchers. Often marchers would spot friends on the sidelines and stop to talk and watch the march for a while, rejoining the march when other friends or interesting groups passed by. Similarly, people who started out watching would spot friends and join the march. Thus there was a fluidity to the event and no clear distinction between observer and participant – everybody was part of the community. Also, as this was a community event, people marched as individuals or as members of community organizations or ad hoc groups (e.g., Fags Against Facial Hair). The only corporate floats represented bars, not huge international corporations. 00:30- Michael Cowling 00:45- ACT UP (also 04:54, 06:11) 01:00- Eric Sawyer (01:42, 03:53) 01:09- Herb Spiers 01:34- Frank Jump, Rich Jackman 01:52- Michael Neslin 02:01- Howie Pope 02:18- Jennifer Munson, Scott Heron 02:54- The Lesbian & Gay Big Apple Corps 03:12- Lesbian Herstory Archives 03:53- ACT UP Housing Committee 04:26- Reno 05:08- Michael Molyneux 05:24- GMHC 05:41- Michael Savino 06:31- Robert Vazquez-Pacheco 07:15- Mark Fotopoulos 07:45- PWA (People with AIDS) Theater Workshop

34404 THE CORPORAL STORY 1956 JET PROPULSION LAB "GAG FILM" MGM-5 CORPORAL GUIDED MISSILE
The Corporal Story is a 1956 silent gag film from Jet Propulsion Laboratory, one of the partners of the U.S. Army in the development of the MGM-5 Corporal missile, the first long-range guided missile. While the captions are comical, there is good footage of what appears to be actual test launches of the missile—although the footage of failed launch attempts only enhances the humorous spin of the film. The film opens with footage of an explosion and the charred remains of the missile and its launch pad. The film shows a view from atop a hill of a simple compound dubbed “the Laboratory” (01:24). “Test Run No. 14” (02:13) features men walking into a control room, where the countdown to a test launch only leads to the production of steam. A rocket prototype with three liquid rockets used for landing is tested on a sled track (03:55). A missile is launched and zig-zags through the air for a short distance before crashing into the earth (04:42). A modified Corporal is launched and flies straight at first (05:12), but then it loses its stable trajectory and crashes. A man stands over the crashed missile as if standing over a killed trophy animal. A rocket propulsion system is tested but the launch tower quickly goes up in flames (06:10). The film says that with the introduction of more engineers comes more secretaries; it shows women walking down some steps and heading to apparent administration buildings (07:54). Footage from the point of view of a car takes viewers driving through some facility or base (08:30). A missile is lowered onto a launch pad (09:10), then it stands unassisted by a launch tower, but nothing appears to happen during the attempted launch. Finally, the missile’s rockets fire up, but the missile does not leave the launch pad (11:26). When the missile finally does take off, it almost immediately crashes and bursts into flames (12:59). An observer is comically charred during the sequence, ending the film.<p><p>The MGM-5 Corporal missile was a nuclear-armed tactical surface-to-surface missile. It was the first guided weapon authorized by the United States to carry a nuclear warhead. A guided tactical ballistic missile, the Corporal could deliver either a nuclear fission or high-explosive warhead up to a range of 75 nautical miles (139 km). Developed by the United States Army in partnership with Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Gilfillan Brothers Inc., Douglas Aircraft Company and Caltech's pioneering Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Corporal was designed as a tactical nuclear missile for use in the event of Cold War hostilities in Western Europe. The first U.S. Army Corporal battalion was deployed in Europe in 1955. Six U.S. battalions were deployed and remained in the field until 1964, when the system was replaced by the solid-fueled MGM-29 Sergeant missile system. The Corporal was the third in a series of JPL rockets for the US Army whose names correspond to the progression in Army enlisted ranks, starting with Recruit and Private before ultimately leading to Sergeant.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
