Ronald Reagan, His Life Story in Pictures: His Life Story in Pictures

Friedman, story editor at Grosso-Jacobson Productions, a picture researcher and author of The Kennedy Family Scrapbook, has compiled a celebratory photobiography of President Reagan. More than 200 black-and-white photographs record the highlights of his childhood, the early days in radio, his Hollywood career and finally his triumphant political ascendancy. Shots are culled from family albums, movie stills, news sources. The meager text is laudatory and the context of each photo is often personal; for example, the emphasis during the presidential years is on campaign appearances, recovery from Hinckley's assassination attempt, White House state dinners and the bout with cancer. For Reaganites only. (September)
