There was something of the awed country boy left in him, a giddy delight that he was even in the room. "Falwell was always very respectful and low-key and humble and soft-spoken in these meetings," says one veteran of the first Bush White House. Unlike some others, he didn't walk in and hand over a "to do" list; Having been given perhaps more credit than he deserved for helping deliver Reagan...
