“[Hawaii nose tackle Reagan Mauia was flagged for two major penalties on successive plays in the fourth quarter at Michigan State, one for a late hit on Stanton. Defensive coordinator Jerry Glanville was not pleased.] I said the next time he gets that penalty he should go immediately to the admissions office and get his transcripts so he can transfer, ... We won't have that.”
Jerry Glanville
“I was friends with President Ronald Reagan and he once said to me, 'I don't know how anybody can serve in public office without being an actor,'”
Warren Beatty
“[At the same time, there is a growing pile of tidbits, in Roberts' opinions and in the Reagan-era documents dribbling out of the White House, that indicates he has strongly held and far-right views on major fronts—abortion, religion, and executive power. There's ammunition for principled opposition to be mined here. But the key attribute Roberts lacks from the point of view of the legal liberals, at least on the record, is an overarching, burn-the-house-down judicial philosophy. As a result, proponents of judicial restraint—an approach to the law that's become as fashionable among liberals as conservatives—are eager to embrace him as one of their own. Leftish advocates of restraint celebrate justices who don't reach out beyond the facts of a case to decide more than they need to and who respect existing Supreme Court precedent. They wrinkle their noses at justices who overtly seek to impose a rightward agenda (Antonin Scalia) and are willing to jettison past decisions to do it (Clarence Thomas). Roberts has never declared himself one of the bad guys, Sunstein pointed out hopefully in a recent piece in the New Republic . Instead he has styled himself as deliberate, lawyerly, process-oriented. His opinions on the D.C. Circuit court of appeals] avoid broad pronouncements, ... They do not try to reorient the law.”
Cass Sunstein
“As one who has supported every great foreign policy initiative from Kennedy to Reagan, I reject the isolationist label, especially when made by those who spent their youthful careers marching against the Cold War policies that brought us victory.”
Pat Buchanan
“I knew Reagan and I was a friend of Reagan. I disagreed with many, many things that Reagan stood for, but I don't think that Reagan would have handled things this way. Well, Reagan did raise taxes when he had to and Reagan was never disrespectful to the legislature.”
“It was dirty with Reagan and Iran-Contra and Oliver North. George Bush the elder was a transition president. He didn't create a lot of waves. There wasn't a lot of personal hatred toward him - but if you think back, the personal animosity on the left was directed at Dan Quayle.”
Quentin Kidd
“One of the big ones is that Ronald Reagan was considered for the Humphrey Bogart role. Some sources suggest that revelation was a ploy by Reagan's publicist more than an actual fact. Producer Hal Wallace has said during interviews that Bogart was always intended for the part. However, it is true that studios always had backup rosters of names in case someone became unavailable.”
Christopher Roberts
“George Bush was called a lap dog for Ronald Reagan. You have to overcome that. You have to overcome that by looking the voters right in the eye and have a solid reason why you are running for president.”
Ron Kaufman
“She's our go-to girl. Reagan did a great job getting to the ball before we did. They were faster and deeper. It wasn't our night.”
