Today on Far Future Horizons we relive the sights and sounds of the 1964/65 New York World's Fair with two special newsreels from the period: an NBC TV Special from 1964 "A World's Fair Diary," with Edwin Newman and a detailed report presented by veteran reporter Lowell Thomas.
In a “World’s Fair Diary” Edwin Newman takes us on a first
hand tour of many attractions featured in the fair. He tends more towards the
off-the-beaten-path attractions more so than the mainstays, but he gets a great
glimpse of what was a once-in-a-lifetime event.
