But in 1941, on December 8th, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, my mother bought a radio and we listened to the war news. We'd not had a radio up to that time. I was born in 1934, so I was seven years of age.

Well, I was born in El Paso, Texas, it was in the nearest hospital to the family farm.

The press . . . traditionally sides with authority and the establishment.

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

I didn't come east of the Mississippi for the first time in my life until I was 26 years of age, but I knew. I read magazines, I listened to radio, I watched television. I knew there was something out there, and I wanted a part of it.

It was kind of exciting being on the radio. Not everybody was on the radio.

Let's face it: Many on the political right believe this president ought not to be there - they oppose him not for his polices and political view but for who he is, an African American!
