Dan’s Dream Dinner
A seating plan by Dan Glickman

If Dan Glickman, director of the Institute of Politics and Clinton’s former agriculture guru, were throwing a dinner party, can you imagine whom he’d invite? We asked Glickman to pick his top 10 guests and why. Here’s what he came up with.

Plate 1 Harry Truman
Most “respected” president

Youth and politics

Plate 4 My great-great grandfather
