Reagan took the stage at his dinner for Denmark's Prime Minister Poul Schluter. Somber aides hovered at the edges of the party through the evening, sometimes darting close to confide something to the attentive President. Anticipation was etched on his face. He turned to his lovely dinner companions, Lisbeth Schluter and Katherine Evans, editor of the Washington Journalism Review, and explained: "If somebody comes up and whispers in my ear and I have to get up hurriedly...
