Put Cleopatra, Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Paine, and Father Thomas Aquinas in a room together and what do you get? Steve Allen's Meeting of Minds, of course. In this first volume, Allen plays host to President Roosevelt's brash style (as played by Joseph Earley), Cleopatra's haughty authority (Jayne Meadows), Father Aquinas's intellectual rigor (Peter Bromilow), and the never-met-a-government-he-liked spirit of Thomas Paine (Joe Sirola). Surprising, witty, and representative of the best that television can offer, this volume shows us the brilliance and depth of these historic figures...as well as the creative genius of Allen.
