When Sir Francis Bacon, Susan B. Anthony, Emiliano Zapata, and Socrates discuss civil disobedience, the scientific method, and a range of other issues, you know you must be in the capable hands of Steve Allen, the genius behind this acclaimed PBS series. In this sixth volume, Allen serves as moderator to the ultimate talk show, where the conversations are destined for conflict. James Booth performs the role of Bacon, Alexander Scourby is Socrates, Julio Mendina plays Zapata, and Jayne Meadows is Anthony, the single-minded advocate for women's suffrage - a position that puts her at odds with the other guests.
