That broadcast would have been around September 1969 when Calley was formally charged.

Thanks for posting this. It's a rich and altogether historical experience for someone born well after the Viet Nam era. I was listening to Randy Newman's song "Rednecks," which speaks of Mr. Maddox in terms different than you might expect, and I wanted to know more about this notorious figure. I could not have expected this. Really wild that you wound up with his reel-to-reel! I can't help but wonder whether it cost much.

Lt. Gov. Maddox speaks first. His speaking ends with "Along comes Lt. Calley", followed by applause. After the applause, it is Gov. George Wallace (Alabama) speaking.

I never let him know that I was a former hippie who once demonstrated with my fellow students in 1968-1972. He would have buried me under the jail if he knew that. I miss him.

He felt a business owner had the right to choose his customers just as a homeowner could choose who came into his home. Too bad he so enjoyed attention and being in the limelight. This made him a lightening rod for controversy. As a lover of history, it was a thrill to chauffeur him to family & political events those last four years of his life.
