Elizabeth and Philip, who between them have at least as much German blood as English, seemed the model monarchs for such an undertaking.* Yet somehow the visit got off to a chilly start as heavy rains and mothball size hailstones pelted the top-hatted German Cabinet, waiting with President Heinrich Lübke and Erhard for Elizabeth's airplane to touch down at the Bonn-Cologne airport.

"Since 1944, the most important, the most irreparable thing that has happened to me is that I have grown...
...challenge the administration to look beyond these considerable but wholly solvable problems to a vision of the world's first undergraduate, urban, aerial, outdoor picnic ground. This is the kind of proposal that administrations generally pass off as "unrealistic" with an understanding, paternal smile. We hope, however, that this plan will not be ignored simply because it is unusual...
