- There were no hugs, no talking hats, and protocol was
- observed to a tee. Still, Queen Elizabeth II managed to have an
- eventful wrap-up to her U.S. visit. In Tampa she bestowed an
- honorary knighthood on General Norman Schwarzkopf and sampled
- military life by riding in a Humvee vehicle. Then it was off to
- the Lone Star State, where she was the first British monarch to
- visit Texan soil. "Lesser mortals are pitied for their
- misfortune in not being born Texans," she told an Austin crowd.
- After seeing the Alamo, dining with Governor Ann Richards and
- toe-tapping to gospel music in Houston, the Queen ended her
- tour. Husband Prince Philip went home, but the Queen stayed to
- relax at a horse farm in Lexington, Ky.
