Presumably refreshed by her late night seances with Commander In Chief and departed husband Ronald Reagan, Nancy Reagan made a triumphant return to Our Nation’s Capital Tuesday.

Let’s hope for more detail on Nancy’s dinners and dresses, possibly cross-referenced with day-by-day time-lines drawn from his diaries and letters to Nancy.
