There’s a ‘Future’ on the President’s Recovery Agenda

President Reagan, convalescing this weekend at Camp David, will take a trip into the past with a private screening of “Back to the Future.”
The time-warp comedy, which includes two references to the President, was requested by the White House and shipped there Wednesday by Universal Pictures.
In the film, a teen-ager is shuttled 30 years back in time when a local theater is playing “Cattle Queen of Montana,” in which Reagan co-starred with Barbara Stanwyck.
The other reference comes when the displaced teen (Michael J. Fox) tells a character in 1955 that Ronald Reagan is the U.S. President in 1985.
“Yeah,” the man says, “and I suppose Jerry Lewis is the vice president.”
