In the heat of a political lifetime, Ronald Reagan innocently squirrels away tidbits of misinformation and then, sometimes years later, casually drops them into his public discourse, like gum balls in a quiche.

No politician was more maligned than Ronald Reagan.

It was great back then because hockey in L.A. was the big thing. We would have Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford coming into the locker room. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell were there all the time and all kinds of other celebrities. It was cool.

I'm getting a little tired of everybody quoting Ronald Reagan.

Everyone seemed to want a piece of Ronald Reagan. It was maddening.

Socialists ignore the side of man that is the spirit. They can provide you shelter, fill your belly with bacon and beans, treat you when you're ill, all the things guaranteed to a prisoner or a slave. They don't understand that we also dream.
