For me its: 1. Ben Franklin, David Niven, Shirley MacLaine and Tim Russert (especially now). 2. During the Richard the Lionhearted and King John eras. 3. Watch the signing of the Magna Carta, a very influential document. How did King John behave (pissed, whipped?), his lords (deferential, arrogant?). 4. Yes. For anything I'm involved in be it local or Federal, union or mutual fund board members. 5. I can, in theory. I've been lucky so far. 6. Murder One in London, near Charring Cross Road (the original store). It had romance and mysteries on the main floor and sci fi/fantasy in the basement. It was great -- the only issue was that the cost of the books was twice the US cover price. One of the things I remember most is buying Elizabeth's first book there and feeling so proud I knew her! I told the clerk that when I went up to the counter. When was it Elizabeth? Between 1994 and 1997 for certain! Thanks for the responses Emily! For me its:
