He now lives in Washington D.C., where he owns a film company that specializes in documentaries and political advertising. But when he does recall his years at Harvard.

He looks back longingly to his days as a fighter pilot...

And then there's William J. Casey, who earned the top job at the Central Intelligence Agency with his deft handling of the Republican's presidential campaign. Or William F. Smith, Reagan's personal attorney, who will run the Justice Department--Reagan, it seems, has forgotten the problems one of his Republican predecessors experienced when he put his closest political cronies in charge of enforcing the nation...
