In the course of 50 movies, Ronald Wilson Reagan almost invariably played the grinning gallant, the fall guy who winds up heartbroken, dead broke or plain dead. In King's Row, he lost his legs; in Santa Fe Trail and Dark Victory, bigger stars got the girl.

Don caught one TD pass (55 yds.), gathered in a second (37 yds.), barely missed a third when he broke loose in a corner of the end zone, where the ground sloped down 3 ft. Otherwise perfect, Namath's pass sailed 3 ft. over his head...
