 WASHINGTON (AP) - In speech and song, Washington just said yes to Nancy Reagan on Wednesday, celebrating her stoic grace in her husband's final years, her drive as first lady against drugs, her fashion sense, even her fixer-upper skills at the White House.
Mrs. Reagan, back in the capital for the first major event since Ronald Reagan's funeral in June, drank in the appreciation and, noting that it came from Republicans and Democrats together, said: "Perhaps we should do this more often."
Leaders of both parties, former Reagan Cabinet members and singer Tony Bennett were among 575 guests at a dinner that raised $2.5 million for a presidential transportation pavilion at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California.
