A clip from the Meeting of Minds show of the late Steve Allen.  Broadcast on PBS from 1977-1981 the show was a history lover’s dream, depicting meetings of famous figures throughout history to discuss various topics.  Here we have Daniel O’Connell debating Oliver Cromwell on the English role in Ireland.  Go Liberator!
