Reagan's challenge to "armwrestle" was reported out-of-context by
many TV broadcasts.  As I understand it, Regan offerred to armwrestle
TIP O'NEILL, not Mondale, after being informed of O'Neil's comments on
Reagan's age.  The TV clip just shows Reagan saying "I'll armwrestle HIM".

(A Reagan/O'Neil armwrestle?  Tip's only two years younger, and in worse
shape, I'd think!)
