It was always a long way from being practical but money was spent on trying to develop such a system. I believe Reagan offered to share the design for the system with the Russians if it was ever developed. Reportedy the idea scared the USSR into pumping so much money into their own defenses that it helped to provoke the civil unrest which broke up the soviet union.
This is certainly Not Eloise, who was a sort of (Denise the Menace) but generlaly harmless(never quite clear what her family background was, though) The film you are thinking of is indeed a horror pic, not a comedy and was called the BAD SEED. It is not to be confused with DRAGON SEED. The Child was definitely homicidal and drowned one child making it look like an accident and killed a janitor or maintennce man via Arson, in comparison Eloise is harmless kid stuff. The film was called BAD SEED and Mayeb to satisifythe censoring powers, the kid was adopted in the story line. I have never seen it but heard it discussed.

What is the connection between Truman Capote and Ronald Reagan?
Details are sketchy, but Truman Capote, an openly homosexual author, screenwriter, and playright, and Ronald Reagan definitely knew each other and it appears they went to some of the same social gatherings. It is also thought that Nancy Reagan was close to Capote (friendship, not sexually).
This appears to be significant due to allegations at one point that a homosexual ring was operating out of then Governor Reagan's office. Reagan denied the allegations and they were never proven, but they conflicted with Reagan's public stand toward homosexuality.

Why are republicans so obsessed with former president Ronald Reagan?
Speaking as a Republican (who may become an ex-Republican if a viable third party emerges), Reagan was nearly the perfect US President. He made a few mistakes, but he had a vision for the country which many of us still believe in. He was known as the Great Communicator, and he was. I was not old enough to vote for him in 1980, but I was proud to vote for him in 1984. I doubt that I will live to see another US President to handle the office as ably as Ronald Reagan did. On the subject, why do Democrats love Kennedy so much? Since the above was written, this contributor has remembered that Ronald Reagan was a Democrat before he became a Republican. Also little known is that in the 1930's Reagan applied to become an American Communist but was turned down. I think we admire the idealism of Ronald Reagan, however short the reality may have fallen. Reagan believed in justice, small business, and the entrepreneurial spirit. That ideal has certainly been twisted by others, but we still believe it to be a worthwhile ideal.
