His departure for the Army and Hollywood made his last appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1957, as young America's unofficial leader, his crowning moment. He had brought youth to a prominence it had never known in American culture

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "His departure for the Army and Hollywood made his last appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1957, as young America's unofficial leader, his crowning moment. He had brought youth to a prominence it had never known in American culture" in the context of "Peter Jennings, Canadian-American journalist who anchored the ABC World News Tonight for almost a quarter of a century, discussing the impact Elvis had on the world, in a sub-segment of ABC's series "The Century" entitled "Memphis dreams", the Reverend MLK Jr being the subject of the 2nd half, as broadcast on ABC on April 5, 1999." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
