Reagan Wishes More Dignified Job for Son Ron

Reagan is not embarrassed that his son, a former ballet dancer, writes for Playboy, he said in an interview in this week’s edition of People magazine.
“I read the first article that he did for that magazine, and I was gratified to find that he has his own writing style and does very well. I don’t think he’ll be indulging in pornographic material,†he said.
