     COMMENTS: The Year of Reagan Begins

There will be plenty of Reaganomania this year, the centennial of the movie-star president's birth. His son, Ron Reagan, gets a jump on the jubilee with his book My Father at 100. ABC's Elizabeth Vargas publicized Ron's book tour on 20/20, for which she offered a quickie promo on World News. NBC assigned the plug to John Yang. His headline was this line about the third year of Reagan's Presidency: "I was feeling the first shivers of concern that something beyond mellowing was affecting my father." Were these the first symptoms of his Alzheimer's Disease or did he not display them, as his personal physician has attested, until five years after he left office, in 1993?

What does Ron Jr believe? "If my father had been diagnosed while in office he would have stepped down."
