When Nixon Met Elvis

[3113]

I love historical stories, and this one, which is just a bit wacky (you'll understand when you come to the part about why Elvis really wanted to meet the president and went to all this trouble) is great. It's the story behind that famous photo of Elvis and Nixon.

Not a quick read, but not all that long either. Enjoy!

It turns out that is one of the most requested photos in the National Archives. I think this is karmic balance to the statistic that "Atlas Shrugged" is one of the most-read books.

This is a very interesting story. However, I think the epilogue should have included the fact that Nixon was re-elected in 1972, besides the fact that he resigned in 1974.
