I think Max was trying to be funny. Reagan wasn't diagnosed until well
after he left office.

... Accurate diagnosis is new....Until very recently, Alzheimer's
was diagnosed as dementia, schizophrenia, bi-polar illness, stroke residue,
and autonomic nerve disease. They all share common paths and symptoms.

Obviously, the lesson here is that we should elect a nun for
President... but only if we can find a Republican one...
