Their was a story that went around years ago. John Hannah, the President of Michigan State University was also a Deputy Under Secretary in the Department of Defense for Manning and Personnel. In this position he was traveling with a group of individuals on a fact finding trip studying how to desegregate US military forces and installations. As one might reasonably suspect the group he was leading was composed of members of different races. They had orders to be billeted in Military VOG (Visiting Officer's Quarters) during their travels. They get in late one night to an Air Base in Alabama, presented their orders and were refused rooms, the services squadron and base commanders wouldn't billet a party composed of individuals of different races in the same building. While one of the party is arguing with the desk clerk and the Services Squadron Commander no one notices Hannah sliping of by himself to a pay phone. Seems Dr. Hannah had a number for a direct line to Eisenhauer and called him up to discuss the issue. To make the rest of the story short, yes they got their rooms and as an additional bonus the Air Base had several change of command ceremonies the very nest day.

NAP was dismissed in an article from the 80's by Rothbard. It was illogical, since the principle is private property, not "un-aggression", from that principle is deduced the norm of not initiating aggression, but also the possibility of retributive and defensive aggression. Also, moral actions made while disrespecting private property can become ethical if receiving retroactive pardon. In case of pardon not happening, one shouldn't care of paying compensation.

Peter Sellers' turn as Strangelove always gets talked about, but I'd like to make a case for his Lionel Mandrake. It's perfectly paced on every level: first he's the affable, slightly bored officer sitting behind a desk, then through subsequent interactions with Gen. Ripper and and Col. Guano, he gets more nervous and frazzled until he's barely holding himself together inside that tiny phone booth. And the upper-class accent is spot on!

[@alecfoster4413]

TM Rezzek- I saw an interview of Sellers talking about the 3 characters he played in this film. Mandrake was his favorite.

[@Jotari]

I think he nails the President role pretty perfectly too. His line about not wanting to be the biggest mass murder in history is delivered with such earnestness and power, it's hard to believe he's the same person as his other two roles in the film. He perfectly captures the desperation of the situation in the hands of a good and capable man who nevertheless is completely helpless.

This masterpiece has so many good lines.

[@mcpaplus]

So many great performances and performers. One of the best movies ever.

[@TheTechnoTherapist]

And multiple performances by a performer

[@Legitpenguins99]

This scene kept popping up in my recommendations so i finally watched it. I really need to watch this old movie now. Never saw it

[@JamesPlaysGames95]

there was so much dark and vocal comedy moments. seeing that moment of slapstick made it so much even more funny cause its the type of humor you'd least expect

[@RoboticsBay]

What a voice from the Colonel

[@IoEstasCedonta]

In a few hours, all life on Earth will be dead or dying, and they're arguing over the Coca-Cola company. That wacky Terry Southern.

[@z-beeblebrox]

I love the subtlety that of all the trouble he's having is because the White House refused to accept a collect call from someone they were expecting to hear from. Can't let a measly WW3 scenario interfere with fiscal responsibility!!

[@PacoOtis]

Bravo! Timeless! This scene will live forever!!

[@nuthineatholl6434]

This was about the most deliciously preversionary thing I saw as a little kid. It opened my eyes in so many ways. Cheers!

[@MOONSIP2]

Kubrick was a genius...this flick still holds up after almost 40 years.

[@brianlove8353]

he does it with such a straight Face

[@garrison6863]

"You're going to have to answer to the Coca Cola company!" OMG

[@bluetoad2001]

the actors and acting in this ‘drama’ are superb. you never have loose change in your pocket when you need it.

[@Nobody4rpresident]

It’s hard to believe anyone that could steal a scene from Peter Sellers, but here Keenan Wynn has done just that. He upstaged Sellers with his deadpan acting and perfect comedic timing.

[@maggosie]

"You don't think I'd go into combat with loose change in my pocket, do you?" This made the beverage I was drinking come out of my nose the first time I heard this line. And yes, it was Coca Cola.

[@communistjesus]

Peter Sellers - may he Rest in Peace- what AN AWESOME ACTOR.. He played a bunch of characters in this movie.. He was just great...

[@smsteve888]

Poor mandrake, he is the only person in the movie that is sane.

[@tlatosmd]

What about President Muffley?

[@LouisEmery]

I remember that scene from 40 years ago! That's when I learnt the word "preversion."

[@tvideo1189]

I have watched this more than I can count, and laughed my ass off every single time. One of the best movies of all time.

[@ftswarbill]

This movie can be summed up in one word, "Genius".

[@biddyfox]

the funniest part of dr strangelove is how serious it all is

[@Ton369]

The Coca-Cola company is pretty hard core tho...

[@myx9588]

My favourite scene from Dr Strangelove

[@davesy6969]

You can't fight in the war room!

[@JustPippaNY]

On a Model UN trip, I brought my copy of Dr. Strangelove along for the bus ride. The line “could you make this a collect call?” got one of the biggest laughs from the other kids.

[@Dabhach1]

"A mutiny of preverts". I think that's something we can all get behind.

[@DavidThomas-fb8bq]

I'm going to have to watch the whole movie because of this scene.

[@xaenon]

You are in for a treat. That movie is bloody genius. The work of Stanley Kubrick, no less.

[@wrath231]

"I think General Ripper found out about your preversions and that you were organizing a mutiny of preverts..now move!" ROFL

[@bluetoad2001]

one of the greatest films of all time, the writers, director, actors, the whole package not to mention Vera Lynn

[@danielmarshall4587]

"ya wana know what I think?" I LOVE THIS SCENE. Thank you for this upload.

[@gary4014]

This line randomly popped into my head earlier today, what the hell?

[@scorpiowatertiger3223]

I bet Kubrick saw 1961's "One Two Three" by Billy Wilder, where Jimmy Cagney plays Coke's man in West Berlin, trying to sell soda pop to the Russians at the height of the Cold War.

[@charcolew]

An amazing film, with a tour-de-force performance by Cagney and again, that aura of madness and desperation that fuels American business life

[@bozsongz3652]

Mr. Sellers, you were a mad genius!

[@Maxmon67]

Thank you KZbin for putting this in my recommended in the middle of a coronavirus outbreak. Spirits lifted

[@rootpotato]

Just realised that Peter Sellers had a massive noggin, even taking into account the slightly incorrect aspect ratio.
