<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR>Former president Ronald Reagan, 91, is steadily slipping in his terminal battle with Alzheimer's disease, according to close friends and former associates.
Until a few months ago, Reagan's physical condition had held steady, even as his mental faculties continued to decline.
In a statement of support to actor Charlton Heston on Friday, Nancy Reagan hinted at the demands that Alzheimer's puts on a family.
Heston disclosed Friday that he has symptoms consistent with the early stages of Alzheimer's.
"Our family knows all too well the cruelty of this disease, and we pray that God will give the Heston family, especially [Heston's wife] Lydia, the strength to face each day that lies ahead," Nancy Reagan said.
