Mike Wallace Interviews Aldous Huxley, 1958 [Update]

From Terry Teachout’s blog. This is seriously amazing. Give it a listen. (Okay, maybe it’s only amazing to me because a) I’m old; and b) I’m a historian….)

This just in: Loyal Reader Dave posted a comment about this, noting that there are actually three parts to the interview. I completely missed that. When the interview ends, look at the small screens at the base of the large, main screen. You’ll see links to the rest of Wallace’s interview. (There’s also a link to an interview with Frank Lloyd Wright, which I think is the “bubblegum for the eyes” interview.)

Tip o’ the mug to Dave for this tip.

  1. Fascinating! did you watch all 3 parts? the Freedom part with the soviet union was interesting, also!was it just me [and very petty as a non smoker] but Mike smoked a cigarette throughout all three parts. Guess he was still under contract from Phillip Morris.But still a great interview, gotta love the internets, just takes longer living in the sticks!davehave you seen this one on Ayn Rand and Mike Wallace?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ukJiBZ8_4k
