porcy62 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) How do you translate the term "agent at large" referred to an FBI agent? Is it some sort of uncover or infiltrated agent? I need it for my job. Thanks in advance. Edited February 17, 2007 by porcy62 Quote

I need it for my job. Thanks in advance. I think you're on the right track. An "agent at large" is not assigned to any one individual division, area or department. I guess you could say kind of a "freelancer" an agent working under a different maybe more relaxed set of rules. Quote
marcello Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley paid a visit to President Richard M. Nixon at the White House in Washington, D.C. The meeting was initiated by Presley, who wrote Nixon a six-page letter requesting a visit with the President and suggesting that he be made a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

That's the very right reason I need a description. I presumed Elvis wanted some sort of official seal to act as informer agent inside the rock business. Probably it sounded better to him then a sneak. Thanks Catesta for the explanation. Edited February 18, 2007 by porcy62 Quote
catesta Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 Could you imagine being busted by Elvis? I heard he wanted to add one more line when he Mirandized a suspect. You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand? Anything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand? You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand? If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand? If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Do you understand? Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present? Thank you, thank you very much. Quote
porcy62 Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) Considering the kind of dress Ze King used to wear at Vegas he probably should have asked some kind of official seal at Marvel Comics. Edited February 18, 2007 by porcy62 Quote
JSngry Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 Elvis was just looking for a cover in case he ever got busted. Quote
porcy62 Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Posted February 18, 2007 Elvis was just looking for a cover in case he ever got busted. Why? He took only a lot of legal drugs, the very same pills of every desperate housewife of the country. Quote
Shawn Posted February 19, 2007 Report Posted February 19, 2007 The housewives are only desperate if their doctor's refuse to give them a refill. Quote

Fawcett comics, actually. Elvis hairstyle and short cape were inspired by Captain Marvel Jr. Don't know if the king ever scored the cool headress. Edited February 19, 2007 by sjarrell Quote

That explains a little inside joke in Mark Wade and Alex Ross's Kingdom Come mini-series/graphic novel collection. For those of you who haven't read it, Kingdom Come is the story of a dystopian near-future in which DC superheroes are in danger of destroying the world through their unchecked behavior. Superman, Wonder Woman and other older heroes are trying to save the world, while Batman, Green Arrow, and other more human heroes are trying to save the world from Superman and his crew. A now adult Captain Marvel Jr. is seen briefly as a background character. He is now "King Marvel" and he looks like this: Alex Ross is a very funny guy, and an amazing artist. Quote
sjarrell Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 I'd forgotten all about King Marvel. Heh. Quote
