When Elvis Met Nixon
It was a very special day in the Oval Office 39 years ago when Elvis Presley met Richard Nixon. The above is a video report about the meeting. This is the link to the story.
Egil Krogh wrote a good book about this meeting called The Day Elvis Met Nixon. I have a copy of this book somewhere among my thousand-plus books in my library.
For years the USPS sold the 24 black-and-white, 8X10 glossies of the meeting. The photos are from the National Archives. I have 18 of the 24. I bought what I believed were the best ones of the meeting.
An online exhibit of the meeting is at this link from the National Archives.
