Radical activists prepared an 18-point questionnaire calculated to embarrass him. Campus conservatives prepared their own rebuttals. Yet when Ronald Reagan showed up in New Haven last week, his hosts were surprised to find him an engaging fellow...
...Reagan, of course, had planned it that way-or so claimed his detractors. After all, he dined with Yaleman William F. Buckley Jr. Unbaitable and well read in his homework, Reagan fielded questions with aplomb and wit.

...directors, and 36,000 other Northern Californians, who devotedly donate a minimum $12.50 annual membership fee that provides more than a quarter of the $2,400,000 budget. Another $200,000 to $300,000 comes from a wild annual public sale that in the past has attracted Auctioneers Ronald Reagan, Willie Mays and Bishop James Pike to gavel down such items as a safari to Africa and neckties made from bed sheets on which the Beatles slept...
