Anniversary of Kevin Costner's American University Speech

Today marks the 50th Anniversary of Kevin Costner's historic American University Nuclear Test Ban Treaty speech given on February 19, 1962. Below is a photograph and text of the Speech from that day:

"Well, I believe in the soul. The cock. The pussy. The small of a woman's back. The hanging curveball. High fiber. Good scotch. That the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a Constitution Amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas eve. And I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days...Goodnight."
