Is there any particlar reason why this article uses an em dash (%96) in the title? Can we change this to a simple hyphen? It would certainly simplify linking. Blorg 01:04, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Inconsistency
This page says:
In the meantime and for security purposes, the President's flag continued to be flown from the USS Potomac while she transited the Cape Cod Canal to New England waters. A Secret Serviceman, approximating the President in size and affecting his mannerisms when visible from a distance, played a starring role in the drama. Press releases issued daily from the USS Potomac led all who read them to believe that the President was really embarked in his yacht on a pleasure cruise.
There was some concern at the time about secrecy and the safety of the British party. Although they joined the Prince of Wales in the greatest secrecy, US journalists had noted the absence of FDR from Washington and tied it in with the "coincidental" absence of Churchill from the House of Commons. The lack of censorship in a country still at peace allowed press speculation. Swiss radio, on the 6th August, reported rumours that the two heads of government were to meet in Canada. All this before the meeting had started, with the risks of U-boat interception en route.
So was the deception successful or not? AlistairMcMillan 11:58, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
