...Married in March of 1952, a mother that October, she was back on a Hollywood sound stage filming Donovan's Brain before little Patti was two. She made four movies as a married woman, including Hellcats of the Navy, in which she co-starred with her husband. When Ron, the second child, was born in 1958, she was almost 37 and no longer acting in feature films. But two years later the Reagans performed together again in a very curious TV production called A Turkey for the President: they played the poultry-farming Caldwells, an American Indian couple in Southern...
Nancy Reagan, decorous and high-strung, fought the same battles with her two children that every parent was apt to fight during the late 1960s and 1970s. Patti, now 32, and Ron, now 26, grew up in California. Both flirted with counterculturalism, she carrying on with a member of the Eagles rock group, he growing his hair long and dropping out of Yale to dance professionally. Nancy Reagan was thrown for a loop by it all, but she made peace. Her relationships with her husband's two children from his earlier marriage to Actress Jane Wyman have seemed more fundamentally...
...what she wants, she wants the best and she wants it right now," says the presidential aide. "If there's a fault in there, it's that she doesn't take the time to coax things out of people.

They call each other Ron-san and Yasu. That is only fitting, since Ronald Reagan and Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone describe each other as good friends. So when they met for the fifth time, at the sleek Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles last week, their wide-ranging talks were amicable, leading to what Nakasone described as "complete agreement on all issues." Actually, the two leaders were able to reach only a vague accord on the stickiest issue of all: what the Japanese call boeki masatsu, or trade friction, and what American manufacturers call by less euphemistic epithets...
Talk about meeting cute. The handsome young man (Mel Gibson) bolts from his cell on Pittsburgh's death row and lands smack on top of the warden's beautiful wife (Diane Keaton). Ron Nyswaner's script is based on fact--a 1901 jailbreak masterminded by the young matriarch who had fallen in love with one of the convicts--but the tone is pure High Hollywood elegiac. This is revolution as amour fou, which Diane Keaton knows something about from her turns as Louise Bryant in Reds and the frazzled Mata Hari in The Little Drummer Girl. Keaton and Australian Director...
