^ The roughest year afflicted not only the First Family but also several friends and followers. It was a rough year for Reagan's onetime close aide Michael Deaver, who was convicted of perjury; a rough year for Attorney General Edwin Meese, under official investigation on suspicion of corruption; a rough year for Federal Judge Robert Bork, nominated to the Supreme Court but humiliatingly rejected by the Senate. Well, time passes. Next year at this time, Ronald Reagan can look forward to packing his bags and heading westward into the sunset, just as he and his fellow heroes used to do in Warner Bros. pictures. Out in Santa Barbara, Calif., he can happily spend his days chopping wood and telling stories about the good old days and, being an honest man, the bad ones.
