I really don't think anyone was pulling Pres. Reagan's strings. He showed us that it was OK to be patriotic and even a bit idealistic... and we loved it. Remember that he was known as "The Great Communicator" and his words did change the world. It was only toward the end that the illness started to show.

All this is coming up now because this great American's 100th birthday is Feb 6. Someone must have thought it was a good idea to dig up Ronnie and interview him... we always were curious if the male ballerina (Danseur noble) would turn out to be be gay over time. Curiously, he was not... but oh did he have a story to tell. And the liberal hounds of the press went for it, sensing a blemish on the icon of the right and ready to exploit it. I am curious what the other son, Michael would have to say about all this. I'm betting it didn't make him feel real warm and fuzzy toward his step brother.
