Closer view of the explosion from another camera. Following the initial explosion, the ensuing sound is a continuous roar. Another view is shown, from a third camera location. It highlights the boiling fire and smoke of the explosion. These scenes document the first successful test of a nuclear weapon, code named "Trinity".

Mattachine Society and gay rights 1960s
00:13:45 - Mattachine Society The Mattachine Society was New York's first homosexual rights group that campaigned for the rights of gay men and women to openly exist in society without fear of arrest or persecution . Inside the offices - poster on wall - Join the Navy"" vo talks about draft and being 4F and how that can affect future employment - may not be probing into if youare homosexual or not but will ask why you got the 4F if it was a physical issue. Mattachine Society head states what it is - ""the society is an organization dedicated to mutual understanding between the society and the homosexual in a society that rejects any form of sex outside the judeo christian normal code. Our primary goal is legal and social reform and basically reform of moral code and concept which includes sexuality as right or wrong. We are self help in regards to helping homosexuals understand the problems they face every day and to come to a better understanding of themselves and better able to stand talland not to be ashamed of themselves or guilty before they can expect society to do the same 00:15:08 - Homosexual acts between two consenting adults is illegal in all 50 states with one exception of Ilinois...which was adopted in 1960..the penal code has sometimes required up to 10 , 20, and up to life sentence - i believe there is still one state where you can get a life sentence...based on concept that homosxuality is so unnatural and so grievous that in medieval times it was associated with demon posession, 00:15:02 - we work through lobbyists in Albany and not Washington because most of your state code laws are state laws and not federal laws. These lobbysits are not employees of Mattachine Society but believe in our cause and therefore work with us. Many of them have to work secretively and on the sly because if it was known that they were backing a reform of this type they would be in serious trouble socially and perhaps even employment wise 00:16:30 Question re: corporations screening out homosexuals Answer - yes i know people who have not gotten employment because they have made the mistake of being honest becasue they made the statements that they were or had homosexual contact...asked in personal interviews not writing...no corporation would put in writing. 00:17:06 EXT gay bookstore - sign says Oscar Wilder Memorial Bookshop - store has homosexual related books and items - views inside showing posters for ACLU , Eugene McCarthy for President, and stacks of men's magazines with hunky male models on covers. bookshelves with various homosexual publications - The Gay Coloring Book, Homosexuality and creative genius, 00:17:47 - Theatre of the Absurd group (also known as Theater of the Ridiculous) drag queens perform The genre arose in what was then New York’s gritty downtown lofts, off-off-Broadway theatres, and unconventional performance spaces. This theater featured experimental theatre and introducing non-actors, drag queens, and fantastical stage constructions and costumes to its productions

SCHOOLGIRL IN EGYPT
M/S of a small girl in school uniform, Gay (Gaye?) Ashwood, walking across the airport tarmac to a Swissair plane; she is accompanied by an air hostess, a crowd of other passengers follow, and there seems to be a large crowd of people gathered on the observation terrace of the airport (probably in Switzerland; this story follows on immediately from CP 056 'St Moritz' story). Nice M/Ss and C/Us of the passengers showing their tickets to a hostess and boarding the plane. <br/> <br/>M/Ss from the observation terrace as spectators look out towards planes being loaded with luggage; the Swissair plane is seen taxiing for takeoff. C/U of Gay in her seat on the plane, looking out of the window and talking to the air hostess. Commentator tells us in a few hours she will be in Egypt. <br/> <br/>L/S of the Pyramids at Giza; two camels enter foreground of shot, carrying Gay and her guide, Sammy. C/U of Sammy talking, pan left to show Gay shielding her eyes against the sun. M/S as the camel handler gets the camels to kneel down and helps Gay off. Sammy takes her by the hand and walks off over the sands with her towards the Sphinx (just seen in the distance); the handler sits down to wait. <br/> <br/>L/S of the Sphinx as a man rides quickly across the foreground on a camel; C/U of Sammy and Gay walking over the sand towards the figure; tilt up to show the Sphinx. C/Us of Sammy explaining the history to Gay; the Sphinx; M/S as they walk among the nearby temple (ruins?). L/S panning right of the stone quarry where the pyramid stones came from; M/S as we see Sammy and Gay walk towards the quarry hand in hand. <br/> <br/>L/S of the Citadel in Cairo; some people are seen walking across the square before it. M/S panning left along the wall towards the mosque; M/S of minarets. M/S of Gay and Sammy outside the mosque, tilt down to show they are having large slippers tied over their shoes before entering. Various shots of the pair walking around the courtyard; some local men are seen washing at a fountain before entering the mosque to pray. M/S panning right of the minarets of the mosque. L/S of the Citadel, with the Egyptian countryside seen before it. Sammy and Gay walk into shot and look at the view. <br/> <br/>Note: print is badly scratched - neg is missing. I assume Gay Ashwood is related to Pathe producer Terry Ashwood, probably his daughter. She appears in quite a few of these Colour Pic travelogues.

The Dick Cavett Show (PBS)
William Sloane Coffin, Jr. Pushing his new book ?Once to Every Man? William Sloane Coffin, Jr. (June 1, 1924 ? April 12, 2006) was an American liberal Christian clergyman and long-time peace activist. He was ordained in the Presbyterian church and later received ministerial standing in the United Church of Christ. In his younger days he was an athlete, a talented pianist, a CIA agent, and later chaplain of Yale University, where the influence of Reinhold Niebuhr's social philosophy led him to become a leader in the civil-rights and peace movements of the 1960s and 1970s. He also was a member of the secret society Skull and Bones. He went on to serve as Senior Minister at the Riverside Church in New York City, and President of SANE/Freeze (now Peace Action), the nation's largest peace and justice group, and prominently opposed United States military intervention from the Vietnam War to the Iraq War. He was also an ardent supporter of gay rights.
