| | Ten days after Elvis Presley (who, you might have heard, died 20
years ago) made his famous 1970 trip to Richard Nixon's White House, the
singer was granted a private tour of FBI Headquarters. This 1971 FBI memo
recounts Presley's visit and the singer's strange observations about the
Beatles, Jane Fonda, and the Smothers Brothers. But unlike Tricky Dick, a
(supposedly) vacationing J. Edgar Hoover missed a personal audience with
The King. We think the repressed FBI director was actually hiding in his
office until he was sure that the freaky Elvis had left the building. (3
