As the age of television progresses the Reagans will be the rule, not the exception. To be perfect for television is all a President has to be these days.

I'm glad Reagan is president. Of course, I'm a professional comedian.

Reagan didn't socialize with the press. He spent his evenings with Nancy, watching TV with dinner trays. But he knew that to transcend, you can't condescend.

Several things about Reagan are unusual in a public man. He was not a typical politician at all, but a private man in public life.

Ronald Reagan in foreign affairs, I think, was someone who had certain, very general ideas, general propositions by which he lives: To combat communism, to build up the American military power to assure our national security against any conceivable threat.

Throughout his life, Ronald Reagan believed America is capable of great things and its people could and would lead the way if left unburdened by taxation and regulation.

Ronald Reagan was a president of strength. His philosophy was a philosophy of strength - a strong military, a strong economy and strong families.

Ronald Reagan, whatever his pros and cons were, was a public servant in the end.

Ronald Reagan's era can be defined, number one in most people's minds, by the Cold War and by the end of it - and by the strong principles he stood for.

News conferences are the only chance the American public has to see Ronald Reagan use his mind.
