I think Reagan switched to Jelly Beans after he quit smoking.

Quit smoking cigarettes maybe. If my hazy/blurry memory of the 80s hasn't completely failed, didn't Nancy hit the bong? I bet those Jelly Beans were for the munchies.

One of the best College Basketball Coaches ever, Mr. Dean Smith died on Saturday at age 83. Being a life long Tarheel fan and having the pleasure to meet Coach a few times, it's a sad day for me and I'm sure many sports fans.
