Jason, This is such an insightful post. I saw the meme as well on Twitter and wondered of its provenance. A curse/benefit of writing history, I suppose. Love how this was traced back to the source and a lesson on memes for all of us. It'd be great to find a Twitter feed that offers these vintage newsreels--and then burrows down to their origination point. So much more interesting. Thanks for this!
