Reagan's personality was such that he made things happen every once in a while. But if you blinked, you missed it. I do know that the camera car which used to be just a few car lengths behind the President's limo, is now much farther back, which makes it much tougher to get up to the limo itself if necessary. scott __________________________________________________________________ << Thanks Scott, very interesting. Do photographers still get to follow GWB around in the same way you did with Reagan?

I was lucky to spend both the Reagan terms working in Washington for the AP, spending much of my time antagonizing the Reagans by looking for those rare moments of spontaneous reaction in a closely managed White House. It was a fun time. Sal knows what I mean. The URL is my five minute of local fame, hope you folks enjoy the war story. http://greenvilleonline.com/news/2004/06/10/2004061033113.htm >>
