Nixon’s Surprise Visit from Elvis
President Richard Nixon shakes hands with Elvis Presley in the Oval Office.  Presley was born on January 8, 1935, and Nixon was born on January 9, 1913 (100 years ago tomorrow). 
Incidentally, the photo from this impromptu meeting on December 21, 1970, is among the most requested from the National Archives.  The Elvis-Nixon meeting draws more inquiries than the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
Birthday cheers for Elvis and Nixon!
