Just about every ranking Republican in Washington is expected to turn out for the affair, including the party's dance master himself, Ronald Reagan...
...luncheon given by the Annenbergs. The Reagans not only showed up but also provided the venue: Blair House, the official Government guest quarters. Elsewhere, the capital's reigning power couple, Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole and Wife Liddy, the Secretary of Transportation, presided over a $500-a-head cocktail bash for the new Dole Foundation, which benefits the handicapped. Colorado Brewer Joseph Coors threw a wingding on behalf of a conservative political-action committee; for $1,000 guests got to gamble away complimentary chips aboard the docked riverboat First Lady...
