The Love Story Continues

Nancy Reagan, in an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer, says that three years after her husband's death, she misses him more than ever. Sounds like it might be a good interview.

Tomorrow, May 22, 2007, The Reagan Diaries will be released.

Only four U.S. presidents kept regular diaries, including George Washington. This will be the first time a U.S. president's diaries have been released.

In the diaries, no topic of presidential life is off-limits, including the president's own embarrassments.

While Reagan was in office, a very British Prince Charles visited the White House for tea. In England, a cup of proper tea is made with loose leaves steeped in water at the bottom of a pot. During the prince's visit, the White House served hot water with a tea bag.

"Poor Charles sat there and didn't quite know what to do," Reagan told Sawyer. "So he eventually put the cup down and after everybody had left, Ronnie said, 'Was something wrong?' And Charles said, 'Well, I didn't know what to do with this.'"

Ronald Reagan was a man so truly middle American he couldn't bear to write out even harmless little swear words, even "damn."

"He just couldn't bring himself to do it," Reagan said. "He just didn't like it."

He wrote that the movie "The Officer and a Gentlemen" was "good story spoiled by nudity, language, sex."

"He'd have a terrible time today," Reagan laughed.

Also on every page of the diaries is the president writing a love story. Over and over, he wrote, "Even six minutes without Nancy was an eternity." "Nancy in California, this place feels empty." "Didn't sleep well. Need my roommate."

Reagan said those entries didn't really surprise her.

"I suppose it might sound a little strange to say, it pleased me that he missed me. We didn't like being apart," she said. "Neither one of us. And it is true that when you're in the White House alone, it is a lonely place. Big and lonely.
