There's a lot to be said for being nouveau riche, and the Reagans mean to say it all.
My father never felt the need to wrap himself in anybody's mantle. He never felt the need to pretend to be anybody else. This is their administration. This is their war. If they can't stand on their own two feet, well, they're no Ronald Reagans, that's for sure.
I'm not a social friend of the Reagans. That's by their choice and by mine. They don't drink enough.
