Monday, December 21, 1970 saw what must count as the most bizarre meeting ever to have taken place in the Oval Office of the President of the United States.
That morning, Elvis Presley – in full Captain Marvel garb of crushed velvet, flapping lapels and aviator dark glasses – turned up at the North West gate and presented himself to the security guard with a letter written on the plane, on American Airlines stationery. In it, he offered to help with the drug problem, “the hippie elements” and the Black Panthers.
