But in a decade whose cultural heroes included Donald Trump, Lee Iacocca, and T. Boone Pickens, Jr., Reagan's blurring of the distinctions between wealth and commonwealth caused him no political damage. If anything, it simply underlined the extent to which he was the consummate man of his time."-Jane Mayer, Landslide: The Unmaking of the President, 1984-1988
