...School Dean John H. McArthur, former Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy Dean Theodore Eliot ’48, former Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox ’34 and an aging roster of heavy-hitting Yankees—including retired industrialist Louis Cabot ’43, former GOP gubernatorial candidate John Winthrop Sears ’52 and former state senator William Saltonstall.

Fitzgerald goes for the unambivalent version - a Reagan who is cheerfully, dangerously clueless, a simpleton actor who performs superbly when standing on chalk marks and reading from a script, the GOP's Prince Myshkin. Fitzgerald takes her title from the cliche in Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman": "Willy [Loman] was a salesman... He's a man way out there in the blue, riding on a smile and a shoeshine." Ronnie Reagan is Willy Loman done up as a sparkling...
