Then on Tuesday--Pot Luck supper with Steve Allen, Oscar Levant, Alexander King, Ulick O'Connor, Dick Cavett, and me in a corner-just listening.

Steve Allen (the American one) once had a program called Meeting of the Minds that asked and answered this question every week. If they brought it back, I'd buy a television to watch it. Since I like Japanese history, here's a Japanese set:

Bodhidharma
Admiral Sun - the Korean who commanded the fleet destroyed by the 'Divine Wind'. (I think that's the right name)
Abbot Nichiren
Tokugawa Ieyasu
The man who founded the Black Dragon Society in the early 1930's.

And I'd really like to have Emperor Meiji there, too; and maybe Oda Nobunaga.

Jesus Christ

Lao-Tse

White Buffalo Calf Woman (the female Christ figure of the Plains Indians, she founded their nation, so it's said)

Crazy Horse

Mary Magdalene


And believe me, it wasn't easy narrowing it down to those five...I'd also like to see Buddha and Krishna there. This is assuming they all had a chance to sort of get introduced properly to each other.

A newspaper I used to read had a section in it's Sunday edition where a local celebrity was interviewed. One of the stndard questions asked was "What five guests would you invite to your fantasy dinner party?"

My five are:
1. Brian Boru
2. Winston Churchill
3. A person brought to America as a slave in the late 1700's
4. Jesus Christ
5. Marco Polo
