Well, Michael was his step son wasn't he? He probably couldn't make out the scent.

>>I happen to know Christopher Lehmann-Haupt personally, and the man is notably unpolitical. I challenge you to cite any published statement by anyone but yourself alleging that Lehmann-Haupt is an "extreme leftist ideologue." Leave out the word "extreme," even. You can't imagine how laughable this is as a proposition. You are wrong, but that is not unexpected as you are not known to be astute. You are most likely delusional. Lehman-Haupt's obvious political bias is easily seen in his reviews. That fact aside, did you see "News Hour" tonight? Your ideologue/friend supposedly read the book and yet he couldn't remember a passage that he wished to cite. Lehman-Haupt is old yes, decrepit yes, but is he that senile too? I mean, all the man had to do was review a book, its not like he had to make national policy and meet 80 people each and every day. There were three biographers there and all three - two liberals and one moderate - disagreed with your ideologues's review. All three said that the book failed as history and as fiction. btw, there is no event where Reagan ever confused reality with his movies.

Actually, various of us have answered you. I have said that misspeaking, whether out of fatigue or inadequate briefing is an occupational hazard, and that Reagan loved stories, had a trove of them, and did not always remember their precise source. JLA simply said, "Neither of the above", which is, I am afraid, an acceptable response to a false choice. Christopher has challenged you with the recollections of a friend who worked with Reagan, and Zoltan has discredited at least a couple of your specific allegations....
