ONE FOR THE GIPPER: “This place never looked better,” Ronald Reagan Foundation President Fred Ryan proclaimed, summing up prevailing sentiments the night Nancy Reagan celebrated her late husband’s historic enshrinement in bronze in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. AN “AMERICAN GIANT”: During dinner in Statuary Hall, Sen. Dianne Feinstein paid bi-partisan tribute to the Golden State’s favorite son, “a big star who could have stopped in Hollywood but kept playing … and is now among our nation’s greatest leaders.” House Minority Leader John Boehner’s emotional tribute focused on the 40th president’s “dedication to decency and human values.” Speech writer Peggy Noonan spoke of Mrs. Reagan’s key role in the historic presidency: “Without her,” she reminded guests, “there was no him.”
