Default Re: Who would you like to meet?

Reminds me of a television show of the late 70's, Meeting of the Minds. Steve Allen put it together and was host. He would have 3 or 4 guests each week in a roundtable discussion of all topics imaginable. The catch was that his guests would be historical figures such as Michaelangelo, Ben Franklin, Florence Nightengale, Genghis Khan, Gandhi, and Cromwell. Okay, they would be actors portraying those people, as much in character as possible. And the script tried to quote them as closely as they could. It was a hoot to see Attila the Hun and Emily Dickinson interacting.

I guess one of my choices for a dinner companion would be Steve Allen.
