Set the table: Special guests dine at the White House

The State Dining Room simply won’t hold all of President and Mrs. Kennedy’s guests. 175 total. 49 are Nobel Peace Prize Winners, the guests of honor, whose work in arts and sciences are helping improve the world. Dinner will be served at 8:00PM, and two-time Oscar Winner Frederic March will read from Hemmingway, Lewis, and General Marshall’s plan for post-War Europe.
