a description of the amazing and exciting adventures i have here in baltimore--- and other lies.

 
While widely reported at the time, Regan did not yell: "Goebbels, you magnificent bastard! I read your book!" as he visited the graveyard in Bittburg, Germany.

Secondly, because Regan couldn't read.
