Do we still have to refer to it as 'The Site'? Anyway, two great vintage Tony speeches from the mid 70s are up on said site. One is of Glynis Johns accpeting her Tony for Night Music in 1973 and one is of Angela Lansbury accepting hers for Madame Rose in Gypsy in 1975. Search for 1973 Tonys and 1975 Tonys for each respective speech. If you're an old Tony Award ceremony lover like me, you're in for a treat!
(And I figured we'd all be sick of those goddamned 'OMG! RENT IS CLOSING' threads by now anyway... )

She thanks Merman in the speech even after (I think) Merman denounced her performance. Such a class act. Someone can correct me if Merman didn't denounce Angie's Rose, but I think she did.
