Meeting of Minds - Series II

In addition to examining timely social issues and philosophical questions, these scripts, Series I & II, take an irresitible form. Almost everyone has fantasized about whom they would invite for an evening of conversation if they could invite anyone who ever lived. Many of us have thought about it. Steve Allen did it. Picture Emily Dickinson chatting with Attila the Hun. Who wouldn't want to hear what they would say to each other?

Required listening

This is a must hear for all Americans. Thought provoking, globally analytical, it is a positive tribute to the brilliance of Mr. Allen.

meeting of minds

this book alone with its companion cassettes tapes should be required study in every school and drama class in the u.s. the scope and depth of its humor and ideals are simply extrodinary. if there is anyone who 'thinks' history must be dull or doubts mr. allen's intellectual brilliance then this book is for you. you will not regret the experience. find the vhs tapes of these programs if you can.

mind food

this book [alone with its companion cassette tapes or VHS-TAPES] should be required study in every school in america; and maybe drama classes as well. steve allen's take on history and great historical personalities and ideals is truly stunning in its humor, brilliance, scope and insight. you will not soon forget its impact. [get the cassette tapes if you can] if you are fortunate the vidio tapes even more so.
