If I had to choose

Three historical figures to invite over to dinner I think it would have to be:

Fidel Castro

Max Robbespierre (I would grill him about why he started out with such noble democratic ideals and good intent and threw it all away to be another jerky dictator)

Sylvia Plath (lots of ground to cover, she would probably stay well into the wee hours of the morning)

Lots of beer for this soiree.
