I didn't realize that The Sound of Music was based on a true story.
Yes, it was.
I'm pissed that YouTube has pulled all of the original cuts I like best though.
I do not get this:
JEWISH COLONIES MAN 'BURMA ROAD'; New Settlements Dot Wider Jerusalem Corridor -- One Is Named for Morgenthau
Youtube seems to be walking a rather fine line.
