Deaver's stamp of approval is on every presidential day. He controls Reagan's schedules, decides who comes in to see him. He puts together details of foreign trips, such as those to China and Ireland. Reagan, chafing playfully at the way Deaver manages his life, recently told a Senate group about a young boy in Europe who rushed forward and surprised him with an American flag. "That was one thing Mike Deaver didn't set up," Reagan said grinning. The President might have been less relaxed over Deaver's ill-considered comment in an interview...
...legal expenses are reported to be close to $1 million, he faces suits from creditors seeking $25 million or more, and his once far-flung estates are tied up in legal wrangles.

But after four years the company went bankrupt, and De Lorean was later arrested on charges of trafficking in cocaine. Last week a British parliamentary committee issued a scathing 328-page report that attacks his misappropriation of public funds...
...during all of this plotted pageantry through Ireland and the commemoration of D-day in Normandy came images of true affection, understanding and meaning. Beamed to an estimated 300 million people around the world, that may be a fair trade-off for the lost intimacy...
