I am not under the impression that Mr. Reagan at 40 was a terribly interesting person to be around

Don't we all get better with age? (Please say, yes.)

hopefully so! Watching him at around my (current) age, I am mostly just a bit nonplussed that this man would become a terrifically charismatic president 30 years~ later.

Youtube is an interesting source of seeing public personalities from the black-and-white days. Reagan’s appearances are more interesting because he was an actor and wasn’t self-policing himself the way a politician would.
