Nancy Reagan befriends a hospitalized tot at the University of Mississippi Medical center. In the past two years Nancy has became a shining political plus, as she "wins friends and influences people" at carefully selected events. "She has became more of a person in her own right," says an aide, "and no longer just President Reagan's wife." She delivers speeches more often and more effectively, and hired an outside writer to provide her with new, improved materials. She opened her arms to a young drug addict at a rehabilitation clinic, spent time with drug-addicted jail inmates, and devoted energy to the Foster Grandparents Program. An observer has declared her to be as "good an instinctive politician as her husband. She's more tactical, he's more strategic." November 4, 1984. |
