President Reagan, pictured with his wife, Nancy, waves from his hospital window. Reagan was admitted for surgery to remove a cancerous mass from his intestine. "Every sign in late July pointed to the Chief Executive's bouncing back from his ordeal, eager to resume campaigning personally for the policies at home and abroad that he wants to make the hallmarks of his White House years. Yet the 74-year-old Reagan's sudden bout with cancer at a time when he needs all the political clout he can muster could have far-reaching effects for months to comeand possibly longer." U.S. News & World Report, July 29, 1985
