Re: IML: Eagle Trivia Answers

[Gale jorgensen <gjorgensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

well this is an interesting question esp. since we had very interesting 
designers at this time - I never gave much thought to this - but I do 
know that
in times of war  the presidential seal the eagle's head is turned 
toward the arrows and times of peace towards the olive branch - the 
white house has 2 sets of rugs for the oval room.............  Is it 
possible that the eagles head was turned at various times on our 
Imperials? Depending on the political climate?
how cool would that be !
