Ellenpoly,

That reminds of a TV show from some years gone that Steve Allen did on PBS. He would have people from history in to visit at a dinner table and they would just talk about the issues of the day. Theirs and the present. The only constant cast memeber as I recall was Steve Allen's wife Jayne (Audrey?) Meadows. She got to be Catherine the Great or Marie Currie, or Abigail Adams. Depending on the show.
