We're excited to launch our new podcast series – "Throwback Thursdays with President Reagan"– where we’ll share some of our favorite quotes by the President. In this week’s Throwback Thursday, we share President Reagan’s eternal optimism.

In honor of the upcoming Oscars, it’s a gift from Best Actress winner Shirley MacLaine in this week’s Monday Minute in the Archives.

In this week's Monday Minute, we take a look at a hand written letter President Reagan wrote his wife, Nancy Reagan. Ronald Reagan wrote love notes to his wife throughout their entire life, many of which are printed in Mrs. Reagan’s book, “I love you, Ronnie.”
