...Absolute Monarch. It was 2 a.m. before the President returned to Washington, but he was up early the following morning to fly 70 miles via Marine helicopter to Winchester, Va., for the funeral of Senator Harry Byrd's wife "Sittie." After the services, Lyndon reached into the Senator's car, grasped his hand and kissed it in a genuine gesture of condolence. He whispered a few words to Byrd, and old Harry, who has crossed many a political sword with Johnson, brushed tears from his eyes...

Instead, it crashed into the rear of the fire engine. The reigning monarch and Irene came out of the accident with a few bumps, but the front of the car was a wreck, and Premier George Papandreou still has the shakes, because while Constantine may not be the world's greatest driver, he is the only male member of the Greek royal family...
