Billie Sol and Clement, both named among the Junior Chamber of Commerce's "Outstanding Young Men" of 1953, became pretty good buddies: Clement named Billie Sol an honorary colonel on the Governor's staff; Billie Sol cut Clement in on a couple of financial deals.

As they boarded an open landau for the 40-minute trot to Buckingham Palace along with squads of Household Cavalry, the rains came. The Queen balanced a royal bumbershoot, but President Tubman had only his black topper to ward off the downpour as he waved to the smattering of onlookers along their route. At the palace, the Queen gave a very wet Tubman...
