Let’s Do the

TIME

WARP

The calendar doesn’t lie,

but these surprising

historical mash-ups

show why the years can

fly by one day and

crawl the next.

WHO KNEW?

DURING HER

REIGN, QUEEN

ELIZABETH II HAS

MET 11 SITTING

U.S. PRESIDENTS.

She has been on the throne

for 66 years and has met

every president since Eisen-

hower (except for Johnson,

who didn’t travel to the

U.K.). Among her royal du-

ties was dancing with Presi-

dent Ford (lower right), but

historians say that Reagan,

who rode horses with Her

Majesty at Windsor Castle,

was her favorite president.
