...first permanent English-speaking colony. Afterward, with Prime Minister Diefenbaker acting as the Queen's senior adviser, she and Philip would visit President Eisenhower in Washington. Before returning home to London, they also planned a day-long sightseeing tour of New York City.

But we kept our mouths shut, dodged any questions about our connections and kept out of trouble." Even so, Meyers, for example, found himself swept...
...after President Eisenhower signed his orders, the first trucks of the 101st Airborne drove up to Central High. It was one of the nation's most painful moments, and the first use of U.S. troops in a Southern racial crisis since Reconstruction days. Explained the President in a radio-TV speech to the nation: "The very basis of our individual rights and freedoms rests upon the certainty that the President and the executive branch of Government will support and insure the carrying out of the decisions of the federal courts, even, when necessary, with all the means...
