"Last week's all-news TV channels (the cable stations that formerly carried news) missed the Reagan story I'm most interested in: I had quite enough of Ronald Reagan, the extraordinary; what about Ronald Reagan, the ordinary?
Reagan the ordinary is the story about a 93-year-old man living with Alzheimer's disease for more than a decade. Reagan the ordinary is the story about families that must cope with intense medical demands. Reagan the ordinary is the extraordinary demographic trend that's changing America."
