On December 21, 1970, rock star Elvis Presley was greeted at
the White House by President Richard M. Nixon. Presley’s visit
was not just a social call: He wanted to meet Nixon in order to
offer his services in the government’s war on drugs.

The Moscow Summit of 1972 was a meeting between President
Richard M. Nixon (right) of the United States and General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It
was held May 22–30, 1972. It featured the signing of the Anti-
Ballistic Missile Treaty(below) the first Strategic Arms Limitation
Treaty and the U.S.–Soviet Incidents at Sea agreement.

The summit is considered one of the hallmarks of the détente at
the time between the two Cold War antagonists.

On May 19, 1943, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill
and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt met to plot the cross-
Channel landing that would become D-Day—May 1, 1944.

That date proved to be a bit premature, as bad weather became
a factor.

Britain and America to create and project a unified front.
