Of course, if something unknown and unknowable literally has prevented Nancy from doing this — greater health problems, I presume, than those that DID NOT prevent Lady Thatcher from extraordinary actions — I'll do an Emily Litella.

If it was up to me people wouldn't try to demand that every relative of Reagan's fulfil their fantasy of the second coming of Ronaldus Maximus himself.
It actually is not their place, in the aftermath of Mr. Reagan's passing, to do a reenactment of the Wellstone "Memorial Service." Ron P. has actually come perilously close to doing that, and on behalf of the party which gave us the original Memorial Service political rally.
That does not mean that Mr. Reagan's political party, in convention, should shrink from pointing out both that Ronald Reagan completely obviated most of the problems left by the pathetic Mr. Carter, and that he did so over the strenuous objections of the Democratic Party in general and of Senator Kerry in particular.
But that is not for Nancy Reagan to do. Not now, if ever.
