...gone to the San Francisco Bay Area for a 48-hour visit that included one consular banquet, an evening of disco dancing, a tour of the University of California at Berkeley, a quick look at San Francisco's new subway system, and lunch with Swedish-born Rudolph Petersen, former Bank of America president. Finally, during a champagne reception with 1,100 Swedish Americans from northern California, Carl Gustaf paused long enough to gaze into the eyes of a Hawaii-born singer named Nani Hardman, who promptly draped the King with an orchid...

At least five such cases, mostly involving Nixon's wiretapping practices, are pending.
