Reagan Redux: San Diego radio talk show host Michael Reagan says his father, Ronald Reagan, and stepmother, Nancy, are distraught about the latest broadside from daughter Patti Davis--a magazine article in which she blames the Reagan presidency for exacerbating the homeless problem. “If she wasn’t writing articles and books about her father, she would probably be homeless herself because that’s how she’s making her money,” Michael, the adopted son of Reagan and Jane Wyman, said.

Double Duty: U.S. Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II filed for divorce the same day he sailed unopposed through the primary election.

Kennedy is the oldest of the 11 children of the late Robert F. Kennedy.
