Who was in the White House room when John F Kennedy said his famous quote about Thomas Jefferson?
"I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House-with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
-JFK
Who were the talents that attended this meeting?
All Wikipedia says is that it was a "dinner honoring Nobel laureates".
Does anyone know the names/professions?
