29. Nancy Reagan once admonished Don Regan that "people are talking!"

Nancy didn't like Reagan's Treasury Secretary and thought he was making enough bad moves that he was making her husband look bad. She scolded him and added "people are talking!" Don Regan was fated not to be Treasury Secretary for much longer, after that. The message got sent - you DO NOT cross Nancy Reagan. She could have your head on a plate before lunchtime.

DAYUM, but that stuck with me. I'll NEVER forget that "people are talking!" admonishment.

I suspect she might have been at least one of those "people".
