Bonus points to anyone who can identify the man Nixon is shaking hands with.

I think it is the picture of Nixon shaking hands with Elvis Presley.

You are correct sir!

Yippie!!! I like this game. For anyone who is curious let me expand on the setting, the date was Dec. 21, 1970. Presley met with President Nixon in order to hand deliver a letter and to make a gift of a WW II pistol. The letter read as follows.

Dear Mr. President.
First, I would like to introduce myself. I am Elvis Presley and admire you and have great respect for your office. I talked to Vice President Agnew in Palm Springs three weeks ago and expressed my concern for our country. The drug culture, the hippie elements, the SDS, Black Panthers, etc. do NOT consider me as their enemy or as they call it The Establishment. I call it America and I love it. Sir, I can and will be of any service that I can to help The Country out. I have no concern or Motives other than helping the country out
