Indeed, Reagan's statement about the trees was accurate, though maliciously
misleading.  Hydrocarbons are a pretty minor component of the pollution
that irritates us and makes us sick today.  Reagan's comparison only
considers one particular pollutant.  What really hurts is such 
pollutants as sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide.  These are produced
by industry.
There *is* a list of Reagan's mistakes published.  It is called *There He
Goes Again:  Ronald Reagan's Reign of Error* and is published by (I'm
not sure about the publisher) Pantheon Books.  It's a paperback and
should be in the humor (inappropriately) or politics sections of book-
stores.  The book details approximately 300 statements by Reagan and
explains how the statements differ from the facts.
