- DON'T HANG UP (CHAPTER 1). George Bush is not the first
- leader of the free world to accept a crank call from a hoaxer.
- As President, Ronald Reagan often shot the breeze with whoever
- happened to dial his number. Once a man identifying himself as
- Bill Smith called the White House and asked to speak with the
- President. Mistaking the caller for Attorney General William
- French Smith, White House operators patched him through to Camp
- David. For the next 30 minutes, Reagan listened to Bill Smith
- from Pennsylvania rattle on about his mortgage payments and his
- family problems.
