Former President Ronald Reagan jumped into the Virginia Senate race Thursday, saying he was "getting pretty steamed" over what he said were false statements by Republican candidate Oliver North. Reagan's comments came in an exchange of letters with former Nevada Sen. Paul Laxalt, who supports North's GOP opponent, former Reagan budget chief James C.Miller III.
