“If you will forgive me, you know someone has likened government to a baby.  It is an alimentary canal with an appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.                                                                                                             "

On Tuesday, May 8, 2012, Time Magazine Editors Michael Duffy and Nancy Gibbs were at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for a lecture and book signing on their latest book, The Presidents Club: Inside the World’s Most Exclusive Fraternity.  The book reveals the secret history of the private relationships among the last 13 presidents, exploring the backroom deals, rescue missions, secret alliances and bitter rivalries of the men who served as commander in chief.

During the lecture, Ms. Gibbs remarked, “The office of the presidency is more important than the individual in it.”
