The University of Texas hosts an online digital collection of Mike Wallace interviews recorded from his television show in the 1950's. They are available from the School of Information or from the Harry Ransom Center at UT-Austin. Interviewees included actors and actresses (Gloria Swanson, Tony Perkins), politicians (Eleanor Roosevelt, Orval Faubus, Henry Kissinger), and other celebrities of the time (Elsa Maxwell, Pearl Buck, William Douglas). A fascinating collection, and snapshot of a particular time in US history.
Another interesting and useful site is the American Rhetoric: Online Speech Bank. This site lists what they consider the Top 100 Speeches in US history, most with transcripts, some with audio or video; Figures in sound, listing rhetorical devices; and Movie Speeches giving clips of some famous movie monologues.
