quote:Anyone hungering for historical disclosure and nuance in Ronald Reagan’s presidential diaries will have to settle for a prosaic and amiably unrevealing drone in the daily ruminations of the private Reagan. There’s a wisp of tidy news headline reader that summons Reagan the heartland radio announcer. And a tone of that’s-the-way-life-goes utterances worthy of the “Our Town” stage manager, whom the actor Reagan could intuitively play. “A haircut & then over to the Soviet embassy to sign the grief book,” the Great Communicator notes of the passing of Konstantin Chernenko as Kremlin ruler.

I guess no one at the Pentagon, CIA or NSA "the shadow gov" were updating him on the multi-billion dollar proxy wars in Afghanistan, Nicaragua, El Salvador and a few other countries back then. They had Mr Magoo running the "free world" at the time.
