Meals have often been on trays in the study. No spicy food is on the menu for the time being. The other night the Reagans watched a video reel given to them by a Hollywood veteran and friend, Ken Murray. The scenes were from his home movies collected over decades and showed the greats, like Mary Pickford, Carole Lombard and Clark Gable at play...

Lots of our friends on Sesame Street helped me in the picture, and Mr. Snuffleupagus deserves an Oscar nomination for his sniffly farewell scene. I'm sure the other stars like Chevy Chase, John Candy and Sandra Bernhard join me in that sentiment. I think that with those little suggestions I made, the script really works now.
