...boiler room of the White House: "innate civility and kindness." That's an oddity after decades of worshiping brilliance, cunning and toughness. We have had the regimes of the ascetic and cerebral Ted Sorensen (under J.F.K.), the martinet Bob Haldeman (Nixon), the good ole country boy Ham Jordan (Carter) and the Wall Street sharpie Don Regan, who preceded Baker...

But the project continued to spark controversy. Its architect disparaged Stanford's buildings, and the chairman of the library foundation declared that the library would allow Stanford to "boast" of the "Reagan connection." Students...
