NEW YORK -- Ronald Reagan's son suggests in a new book that his father suffered from the beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease while he was still in the White House. Reagan's son writes that he believes his father would have left office before his second term ended in 1989 had the disease been diagnosed then. Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1994, five years after leaving office.
