...Mallory says he wants to ditch Eileen, and I believe he means it. If he really wants to provide a new mother for Michael and if that makes for a solid loving family, I'll be glad to see it happen. Eileen certainly isn't easy to get to. I make appointments with her at the center, but she rarely shows up.

Even the Lampoon reads well after a summer with Baby...
...dwell on or even acknowledge the problems that are headed his way, Reagan seems to derail a lot of them. As another occupant of the Oval Office, Calvin Coolidge, said, "If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you." Coolidge's portrait still hangs in the Cabinet Room for daily inspiration...
