What's on TV? Tuesday, August 4, 1964

President Johnson's speech on the Gulf of Tonkin crisis interrupted regular programming at 10:36 p.m. CT. The Tonight Show episode guide notes the event with a nonchalance that belies its importance: "This episode was interrupted for an address by President Lyndon Johnson over the Gulf of Tonkin incident." On to more pleasant memories; the "Theater Opening" on WTCN is that of the new Southtown Theater at the Southtown shopping center in Bloomington. I saw many movies at that theater over the years; I think the last one might have been Quiz Show. It was torn down 25 years ago now, a foolish move by a shopping center that isn't what it used to be. But then, we've made more than a few foolish decisions around here over the years.
