MORNING IN AMERICA
Isn't it romantic? "Let's take a look back at the lifelong love affair of Nancy and Ron," is how one MSNBC anchor put it yesterday morning, giving their relationship a first-name status usually reserved for the likes of Antony and Cleopatra or Scarlett and Rhett." How touching. And then a further reach too far: "When Tom Brokaw of NBC suggested to Bob Dole that Ronald Reagan had been an inspiring flag-bearer for the World War II generation, it was a bit too much for Mr. Dole, who was wounded in Italy. He replied dryly that Mr. Reagan, who spent the war making Army training films in Hollywood, had never heard a shot fired." Thank you, Alessandra.
