At the Treasury Department, he was said to be insensitive, arrogant, unsophisticated--and he helped launch the nation on one of the longest peacetime booms in history. As chief of staff of the White House, Regan has been accused of being unfeeling, narrow-minded, egotistical --and the President he serves now stands at an all-time high in prestige and acclaim.
