1. Her motto

Just say NO. I don't mourn her passing. She lived to a ripe old age because she was rich and well cared for. Can't say the same for many, many Americans.

5. Yeah, I have words for her.

But I'll keep it to myself for now.

6. Could She Have Really Helped Him?

I am not a fan of the Reagans, but could she have really helped Rock Hudson at that point. If he died a few months later would the treatments have extended his life any farther. It seems that even if she had intervened and he had been transferred to the French hospital the disease had progressed too far for him to be helped.

7. Who knows?

But I think it speaks to the kind of person she was.
