...decided not to remove the remainder of the growth. During another routine examination last March, doctors found no evidence of the first polyp but discovered a second small growth, attached to the intestinal wall by a stalk, and found traces of blood in two samples of the President's stool. Although this finding suggested that bleeding was occurring in the intestine which could signal the presence of a malignancy, doctors were not immediately alarmed; eating red meat also sometimes leads to traces of blood in stool. Indeed, after Reagan was placed on a restricted diet, the blood traces disappeared. Still...

When he did move about, he staggered. He played his keyboard mostly at will; often he waved his hands in the air, keeping no better time than the more enthusiastic members of his audience. The backing band, which at times boasted a string section of five and a brass section of three, had a professional conductor...
