- <p> What does a Queen do when it comes time to grace the
- shores of the colonies that her great-great-great-great-
- grandfather so carelessly lost? Pretty much whatever she wants,
- which in the case of Queen Elizabeth, who arrives next week in
- Washington for a nine-day state visit, may not be what you'd
- expect. Her tour includes the first-ever speech by a British
- monarch to Congress, good seats at a baseball game in Baltimore,
- and a trip to Florida to meet General Norman Schwarzkopf. The
- city of Miami will present Her Majesty with two manatees, those
- aquatic mammals known as sea cows. But the creatures will remain
- in Florida, which probably pleases her and the Buckingham Palace
- staff just fine.
