REAGAN'S SPACE INVADERS

RONALD Reagan was a big believer in extra-terrestrials -- or a big joker. In his new bio, "Merv Griffin: A Life in the Closet" (Blood Moon), Darwin Porter says that once over lunch, the then-president told his TV-mogul pal that he'd seen flying saucers on three separate occasions in California. "He also told Merv that he believed that aliens had been spying on the Earth for decades, and he feared that an invasion of the United States was imminent," Porter writes. " 'I just know it,' Reagan said. 'They've selected some desert in the West to make their landing.' " But Reagan's daughter Patti Davis is skeptical. "Uh, OK, do we think maybe he might have been joking?" she said. "And here's a tiny red flag -- my father did not do lunch. I doubt he ever had lunch with Merv Griffin." That said, Davis' mom, Nancy Reagan, does believe in astrology.

We didn't know it that well and it wasn't exactly comfy. Only my daughter and David slept there that very first night because I was in the city. David actually got lost, but I think that was more because of his eyesight. ....

"We've already bought compost from the local farmers, and this summer we'll teach healthy cooking and give instructions and have their young friends, neighbors, schoolmates help us plant gardens on the grounds."

So is it that every first lady named Michelle is into growing vegetables?

"Please. I planned this idea long before Mrs. Obama even got into gardening. We're also involved in encouraging people to get into volunteer work in line with President Obama's push for everyone to give more to their fellow citizens. Ashley, in fact, is being named chair of the State University service committee. ....

the Executive Mansion's 'green' conversation, so it wasn't the Patersons' initiative or the Obama's inspiration.
