As Nancy Reagan listened, the leg of her chair slipped off the edge of the platform, and she pitched into a row of potted yellow chrysanthemums. "I'm all right," she hurriedly reassured everyone. "I just wanted to liven things up." She regained her seat, and Horowitz put a protective arm around her.
