Allen did what few have done on TV. He encouraged thought. Where is he when we need him so badly. Allen was by no means the first to create such a concept IE: You Are There had worked a similar concept some years before staring on radio. Someone will revive this concept in some form and it cannot happen soon enough. Allen was not entirely fair to all guests. It was obvious he did not like Luther, De Sade or Machiavelli and each had more to them than was presented. But this is a minor flaw and more fun for the thought and discussion it provokes. Aristotle himself observed on MOM that no one person ever should think he has the final word on truth. God bless Steve Allen. And I must add the the X plus Y factor that clearly went over the head of another reviewer was an example of Aristotles' syllogism which defined the very nature of thought, something not taught in most schools and desperately needed in American education
