RONALD Reagan was a big believer in extra-terrestrials -- or a big joker.

David actually got lost, but I think that was more because of his eyesight. ....
"We've already bought compost from the local farmers, and this summer we'll teach healthy cooking and give instructions and have their young friends, neighbors, schoolmates help us plant gardens on the grounds."
So is it that every first lady named Michelle is into growing vegetables?
"Please. I planned this idea long before Mrs. Obama even got into gardening. We're also involved in encouraging people to get into volunteer work in line with President Obama's push for everyone to give more to their fellow citizens. Ashley, in fact, is being named chair of the State University service committee. ....
