...salute, a military guard in 1776 revolutionary raiment and the largest diplomatic dinner the Reagans have given in the White House. The 109 guests ranged from captains of industry to Cabinet members of both countries to James Clavell, author of the bestseller Shōgun, and Actor Richard Chamberlain, star of the TV miniseries based on Clavell's novel.
