Williamsburg in Time Warp Aims for Nuclear Summit Security
Colonial Williamsburg hosts a nine nation leaders summit Memorial Day weekend with heavy security. Helicopters land on Carter Grove grounds as Secret Service and White House transport swirl through the 90 acre restored area. The visit includes presidents and prime ministers, 1500 staff, 4500 journalists, and a security plan that closes streets to the public.
