Reaganites live soaps Dan is being rushed to the hospital, Laura ' s car is smashed and she ' s stranded on 1st Street, Kerri and Dennis are reunited. Sound like a soap opera? Well it is. Welcome to Reagan High. Though many Reaganites (even guys) followed at least one TV soap opera (many watched three or four), that didn ' t seem to be enough for them. They wanted more.

There was the never-ending conflict between Reagan and LBJ; there were students rebelling against the new attendance policy; and there were the no- names asking to be seen in Radar and Spur. All of these caused some excitement in the little town of Reagan. They were talked about, then forgotten in the event of a newer, more exciting conflict.
