>>I have never heard that Reagan served in any Intelligence capacity, what exactly is the source on that? Edmund Morris/Charlie Rose interview and a brief mention in An American Life: My career in loading ships only lasted a few months, then Colonel Booker called me in and showed me an order transferring me to Army Air Force Intelligence, Los Angeles, California. At the time, General Hap Arnold was moving toward achieving his dream of creating an independent air force. He'd established the intelligence unit to make air force training films and documentaries, train camera crews, and accompany our planes on combat missions. I was sent to the unit because of my experience in motion pictures.

Steven - re. "wartime duties as easy as anybody's." Maybe so, maybe not. Lots of people with wartime duties on the home front had jobs that were definitely NOT easy, starting with FDR. It's quite possible that Reagan's wartime duties were stressful as hell (I'm citing possibility, not fact). For instance, IF part of his job was to constantly review raw footage of combat and it's aftermath, this job was not a day at the beach and might easily result in personal identification with combat forces. I suspect a decent Ivy lawyer could get him millions for some kind of mental anguish! Mike
