Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush, January 27, 1981, a week after the inaugural. Their relationship was publicly cordial but privately corrosive. During their eight years in the White House, Mrs. Reasan never invited the Bushes to the family quarters. Reagan's biographer Edmund Morris said, "Barbara never forgave Nancy for treating them like the help."
