...times in my life," said Dwight Eisenhower, "when I have wished that the gift of eloquence might have been conferred upon me. This evening is one of those times . . . Each of us would like to say what we know is in America's heart: welcome to our distinguished royal couple that have come to us. English-speaking people march forward together, to stand steadfast behind the principles that have made the two nations great−of the same faith in their God and in themselves−a belief in the rights of man . . . Ladies and gentlemen, will you please...
...White Ensign of Britain's Royal Navy, which had flown for 162 triumphant years over the vast Trincomalee naval station on Ceylon's east coast, came fluttering down its flagstaff for the last time.

But the Tribune ran a front-page color cartoon showing a whiskered Uncle Sam smiling (regulars could not recall when Sam last smiled for the Trib) as he presented a bouquet to the Queen under...
...Royal Soap Opera." Timed for the visit, major articles reflecting British criticism of the monarchy broke in the Satevepost ("Does England Really Need a Queen?") and Look (a tired rehash called "Queen Elizabeth . . . Her Poor Public Relations"). The Satevepost (that "notoriously conformist family magazine," pouted London's New Statesman) stirred up a stew in the British press, notably for its author, former Punch Editor Malcolm Muggeridge, who got the assignment long before the Queen's visit was planned.
