...Reagans throw an official bash, Nancy will bring back hard liquor, pomp and circumstance. Ballroom dancing, which both Reagans enjoy, will return to vogue, and the entertainment will be cheery; husband and wife relish wholesome groups of young people singing in rousing harmony. Old Hollywood friends, such as Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart and Charlton Heston, will turn up at state dinners and public ceremonies, some of which will be white...
...Democrat in his youth, Donovan supported Reagan in 1976 but did not become a prominent campaign worker until June 1979, when he was asked to help raise funds.

There was a formal dinner for 320, dancing and additional entertainment from a few talented guests: Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Phyllis Diller, Pearl Bailey and Tony Orlando (who tied yet another ribbon round that old oaken tune). "This is an exceptional night, a tremendous evening in the lives of Jerry and Betty Ford," said the former President and incumbent romantic. "We are more in love today than...
