REAGAN DIME BILL KILLED

  From the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette:  "Former President
  Reagan's likeness won't be on a dime soon after key
  Republicans pulled their support from Rep. Mark Souder's
  bill to redesign the 10-cent piece.

  His idea drew 89 supporters in the 345-member House but
  also sparked opposition, particularly from Democrats, FDR
  fans and the March of Dimes.

  Even Nancy Reagan said she thinks it's inappropriate to
  replace Roosevelt with her husband.

  "While I can understand the intentions of those seeking to
  place my husband's face on the dime, I do not support this
  proposal, and I am certain Ronnie would not," the former
  first lady said in a written statement last year."
