From the June 21st History Channel's History in the News " 8 Historic Handshakes" by Christopher Klein.
June 21st was World Handshake Day so this is appropriate. Photos and text are with the article.
1. U.S. Grant and Robert E. Lee (April 9, 1865)
2. Richard Nixon and Elvis Presley (Dec. 21, 1970)
3. William McKinley and Leon Czolgoz (Sept. 6, 1901)

7. Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat (Sept. 13, 1993)
