Final Hail to the Chief
6/11/2004 5:20 PM
The nation bid a final farewell to Ronald Reagan on Friday in a funeral praising the former president for his lifelong optimism, sense of humor and political accomplishments as dignitaries from around the world and others watched solemnly from packed pews. With his sunset burial, said President Bush, "a great American story will close." Bells tolled 40 times to honor America's 40th president, as his casket left the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., after the funeral service.

Reagan Hailed as 'Great Liberator'
6/11/2004 12:17 PM
In tributes laced with laughter and tears, President Ronald Reagan was hailed Friday as a kind and modest soul who saw the best in America and a "great liberator" who helped to defeat communism. "Our 40th president wore his title lightly, and it fit like a white Stetson," said President Bush, offering a graceful nod to Reagan's self-made image as an American cowboy.

Reagan & Bush, Father & Son
6/10/2004 9:01 PM
"Those who do work are denied a fair return for their labor by a tax system," one president said in his inaugural, "which penalizes successful achievement and keeps us from maintaining full productivity." "And we will reduce taxes," the other president said at his swearing-in, "to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans." The first president was Ronald Reagan. The second was George W. Bush. Two decades separated their inaugurations, but the similarities in the speeches are among several common threads of their presidencies.

A Veteran Honors Ronald Reagan
6/10/2004 9:00 PM
Tens of thousands weave through the line; clump up the gravel walkway and over the limestone of the Capitol to file past Ronald Reagan's flag-draped coffin. Some have waited in line for four hours, sweaty, thirsty, solemn to the moment they enter. Many recall moments that endeared Mr. Reagan to a nation. There was the speech at the Berlin wall. The disarming quip when he said to former President Carter, "There you go again." Or when he told his wife, Nancy, that he almost died by an assassin's bullet because, "Honey, I forgot to duck." Most of all, there is an enduring shared memory of Mr. Reagan as the man who loved his wife, as a loner that led the nation.

Reagan's 50-Year Pen Pal Remembers Friend
6/10/2004 8:54 PM
In the Oval Office, she always referred to him as "Mr. President," but in her letters, it was "Dear Ron." Philadelphia native Lorraine Wagner first wrote to President Reagan when she was 13 and he was in his 30s. Her request was an autographed picture. Out of 10 celebrities she wrote to, only then-actor Ronald Reagan wrote back. They were pen pals for the next 50 years.

President Bush paid his respects to former President Ronald Reagan Thursday, joining the tens of thousands of mourners who flocked to the Capitol to bid a final farewell to the 40th president. Arm in arm with First Lady Laura Bush, the president walked across the hushed rotunda to Reagan's casket, bowed his head in prayer and touched the flag draping the coffin. The Bushes then quickly exited. Supreme Court justices, tourists, Boy Scouts and world leaders were also among those who gazed upon Reagan's casket in silent contemplation under the Capitol Dome.

Reagan's Casket Lies in State in Capitol
6/9/2004 10:04 PM
With the storied riderless horse symbolizing the fallen president, Ronald Reagan's casket rolled on a century-old caisson to the Capitol on Wednesday for final tributes from high officials and common Americans in the first presidential state funeral in three decades. The 40th president lay in state under a dome where public servants from Abraham Lincoln forward have been honored.

Reagan Remembered as Kind, Hopeful, Caring
6/9/2004 10:01 PM
Stealing a few moments before she turned over her husband to the masses waiting to say their final goodbyes, Nancy Reagan rubbed her hands across the casket of Ronald Reagan, her lips moving, uttering unspoken words. But aside from a slight glistening in her eyes as she whispered to her husband, lying in state beneath a U.S. flag, the former first lady publicly remained totally composed throughout Wednesday, a day that saw her late husband carried across the nation and then remembered in a memorial service at the Capitol, where he will remain until his state funeral on Friday. During a service attended by hundreds of Washington dignitaries, the vice president and congressional leaders praised the 40th president for his humility, charm and never-ending hope.
