July 6th of this year marked the 100th anniversary of Nancy Reagan's birth.

Her husband Ronald was the icon of the modern conservative movement and one of the most

popular presidents in American history, and she too carved out her own fascinating journey

husband's administration. In this episode, we interview Karen to Malti, author of the first
