1. Not suprising at all
Before we met and married, my wife dated a guy whose father was an attorney in D.C., and worked off and on with the Reagan Administration in one capacity or another.

This guy's dad recounted stories of meetings where Ronnie was in attendance, where all he would do was sleep. The only time they woke him up was to get his signature one some piece of paper or another-- otherwise, it was his cronies that did all the work, while he slept through it all. And I believe this was happening during not only his first term, but his second term, too.
