(Page 3 of 3)

In Washington, Reagan and his staff were joined by Graham, Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton and Coretta Scott King.

In Iowa, the Rev. Jesse Jackson stood between a Motel 6 night manager and Mr. Goodwrench.

In Texas, migrant workers organized a 51-mile stretch.

In New Mexico, Hopi and Navajo tribesmen met in a hand-holding pow-wow.

P.S. My other DVD pick of the week: The Joey Reynolds DVD retrospective. Reynolds is a radio legend, and one of only three disc jockeys inducted into the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame. Now, this 55-minute look at the last decade of his 40+ years on the radio — available at www.officialjoeyreynolds.com — captures the rollicking wit and variety of guest that have made him a coast-to-coast favorite, especially for cheesecake-loving night owls. Reynolds longtime pals — comic legend Soupy Sales and jazz great Les Paul — are among the featured celebrities. You can count me in as an F.O.J. ("Friend of Joey").
