EROTIC MUSIC BAN
A STATE LAW THAT BANS THE SALE OF ``EROTIC'' MUSIC TO JUVENILES WENT INTO EFFECT THURSDAY, AND INDUSTRY OFFICIALS AND THE ACLU USED THE OCCASION TO ANNOUNCE A CAMPAIGN TO OVERTURN THE BAN. THE WASHINGTON MUSIC INDUSTRY COALITION SAID IT WOULD JOIN WITH THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION AND THE RECORDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, WHICH REPRESENTS THE NATION'S MAJOR RECORDING LABELS, IN FILING A LAWSUIT NEXT WEEK TO OVERTURN THE LAW. WASHINGTON, HOME TO POP AND ROCK SUPERGROUPS SUCH AS HEART, NIRVANA, QUEENSRYCHE AND SIR MIX A LOT, IS BELIEVED TO BE THE FIRST STATE TO PASS A BILL SPECIFICALLY TARGETING ``OBSCENE'' LYRICS IN POP MUSIC.

44824 1962 CENTURY 21 EXPOSITION SEATTLE WORLD'S FAIR
This silent 16mm film shows the Century 21 Exposition, also known as the Seattle World's Fair, held April 21, 1962, to October 21, 1962. Nearly 10 million people attended the fair. Unlike some other world's fairs of its era, Century 21 made a profit. The film includes rare views of the fairgrounds, monorail, and of course the Space Needle in its original orange paint scheme.<p><p>As planned, the exposition left behind a fairground and numerous public buildings and public works; some credit it with revitalizing Seattle's economic and cultural life. The fair saw the construction of the Space Needle and Alweg monorail, as well as several sports venues (Washington State Coliseum, now KeyArena) and performing arts buildings (the Playhouse, now the Cornish Playhouse), most of which have since been replaced or heavily remodeled.<p><p>The site, slightly expanded since the fair, is now called Seattle Center; the United States Science Pavilion is now the Pacific Science Center. Another notable Seattle Center building, the Experience Music Project, was built nearly 40 years later and designed to fit in with the fairground atmosphere.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment! See something interesting? Tell people what it is and what they can see by writing something for example like: "01:00:12:00 -- President Roosevelt is seen meeting with Winston Churchill at the Quebec Conference."<p><p>This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA.
