On one hand, Mr Kennedy perhaps might like to discuss his book, Profiles In Courage, and give his views of how the political landscape would have differed had he served both one, and perhaps, a 2nd term of office. While to your right, Mr Twain might like to discuss the politics of his 2 books Tom Sawyer ( The Civil War) and Huckleberry Finn ( The Reconstruction ), and whilst living in Sloane Square, Chelsea, give his observations of the English he saw and came into contact with. The nearest I came to seeing JFK was at the USAF Academy giving a speech to the graduating cadets. |

Hitler - how can I explain this one. Well it's not because I liked the man, I just want to know what went on in his head. Why he did those atrocious thing to people and how could he live with himself. Did he not feel guilty, or had he gone beyond what was wrong or right, to see for myself if he was insane (got to of been). And many more questions. He was a nasty man, and should have been took out. Everyone was scared of him, and I would want to know why. I will stop now |

I think it was Nicholas Soames, his grandson who said that as a small boy he opened the library door where Winston was doing some paperwork and said "Grandpapa, is it true that you are the most famous person in England?" to which Winston replied "Yes, now bugger off." POE I hope I haven't committed a faux pas with that last word! |

Everyone one of you on POE. What a great night that would be! Although, we might have to extend it to a week of nights just because we'd surely spend half of it picking our selves up off the floor laughing! |

Nice cat, but I prefer the picture of you. There are so many people I would like to spend the evening with, that I won't even begin to name them. Poets, authors, religious leaders, teachers, one more evening with my mum would be nice too. And pf course like you said Diana,members of POE. |
