- FATHER KNOWS BEST. Of all the kiss-and-tell books about Ronald
- Reagan, the most unflattering may have been written by the man's
- own family. Michael Reagan wrote that he found his father
- neglectful. Patti Davis wrote a novel about a cliche-spouting,
- befuddled former Governor of California. Now Maureen is weighing
- in with First Father, First Daughter, a "loving memoir" in which
- she writes that her half sister Patti did not even know of her
- existence until Maureen spilled the beans when Patti was eight
- years old. Her dad's explanation: "Well, we just haven't gotten
- that far yet." The Reagans say the book is "splendid."
