He Tried to Ban the Bomb
Newsreel story from the 50s reporting the death of Bernard Baruch, a philanthropist who tried to ban nuclear weapons. This is pretty standard, though Baruch sounds like an interesting, little-known figure.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.
