<<Have you ever sat down and talked to anybody who actually knew Reagan in person and worked with him?>> On a local PBS they had a person who was with Reagan when he was announcing a ball game. The mike went dead and they had to move to where they couldn't see or hear the game. Reagan gave a made up play by play for several innings and then when things were fixed, blended his made up with the actually happening and wound up the last inning being correct. And no one could tell the difference.

<<<Have you ever sat down and talked to anybody who actually knew Reagan in person and worked with him? If you do, I think you would come away with a very different impression than the public has of him. >>> Edmund Morris, the authorized biographer of Reagan chosen by Nancy, talked to him for years and still couldn't figure out who was minding the store. I assume Reagan's son knew him pretty well, also, and vice versa. And yet, things are not always as they seem. Quote from Chris Lehman-Haupts's review in today's NYT of the Morris book: "Mr. Morris ... tells how Mr. Reagan failed to recognize his own son Michael at his high school commencement."
