The pair, while an unlikely duo, got along surprisingly
well during their two-day visit, according to Pearl’s
owner, Vanesa Semler.

"For me, [it] was a huge, pleasant surprise from day
one because Reggie is like Pearl in [a] bigger size,"
Semler said. "He is so gentle, so friendly."

Reggie’s owner, Sam Johnson Reiss, said the Great
Dane is more of a people person but enjoyed the
playdate.

The first General Assembly of the United Nations, comprising
51 nations, convened at Westminster Central Hall in London,
England on this day in 1946.

One week later, the U.N. Security Council met for the first time
and established its rules of procedure.

Then, on January 24, the General Assembly adopted its first
resolution, a measure calling for the peaceful uses of atomic
energy and the elimination of atomic and other weapons of
mass destruction.

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.
