The Writer's Life: From Arthur Schlesinger’s Journals February 1981 - a pithy comment on President Reagan from Dr. Kissinger

“I get along well with Reagan,” he [Dr. K.] said. “I spent an hour and a half with him only a few days ago. He is a nice man, a decent man.  One odd thing, though. When he talks, all his illustrations are drawn from the movie business. He never says, ‘We had a problem like that in Sacramento,’ never brings up his eight years as governor [of California]. It is always, ‘We had a problem like that in the Screen Actor’s Guild’.”
