"Misspeaking" is a rather inadequate name for the kind of statement he made, I'd say. So is "fatigue." He just got tired and thought he'd liberated a concentration camp? JLA's "None of the above" is pure evasion, unless some explanation of the sort you think is adequate is offered, ie "misspeaking" and "fatigue." JLA didn't do that. Christopher's recollections are not a "challenge" to the record of Reagan's statements. The fact that his friend's "recollections" do not include confusions of fantasy and reality is hardly evidence that the record is an elaborate hoax. What Zoltan has done is to insult me personally, and ridicule the decrepit appearance of poor Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, and declare that Reagan did not present scenes from movies in which he appeared as scenes from real life. (I replied to that with an interesting anecdote. What do you think of that anecdote? What do you think of Reagan's saying he saw a scene he couldn't have seen? Of insisting that segregation in the armed services ended three years before it did, disbelieving it when corrected, because of that powerful scene he witnessed that he couldn't have witnessed because it didn't happen? Goofball?)
