Is this different from many CEO's?  Most of them spend a lot of time
outside the sompany, doing PR and going to high-society events, and
the vice presidents and senior executives run the company on the inside.
Reagan does the PR (and he does it effectively).  How many of you
work for companies in which the CEO does the analysis for policy
decisions?
