Ronald Reagan, Ron, Nancy Reagan and Patti Davis, circa 1967. Inset, Ron Reagan today. The Bush inner circle would like to think of George W.'s presidency as more of an extension of Ronald Reagan's than of his one-term father's. Reagan himself, who has long suffered from Alzheimer's disease, is unable to comment on those who lay claim to his political legacy. But his son, Ron, is -- and he's not pleased with the association. "The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now," he said during a recent interview with Salon. "Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's -- these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people." - - - - - - - - - - - -

Unless I'm mistaken, it's not protocol to place the hand over the heart during the Anthem. During the Pledge, yes, but not during the Anthem.

As best I can recall, a man wearing a hat removes it and covers his heart with it. But, not so with the hand.

I may be wrong but, that's how I understand it.
