> Hello Charlie:
> Reagan was Governor Of California ,before he was president, so we got to watch for 16 years! You are very right, he was slippery. He was both an idealogue, and a politican bothered by few things. He decided to take out the USSR, and did.... The exposes of that should have some real eye-openers, when they write THAT part of history1 He wasn't afraid to play the idiot, when he got caught.... ( He did avoid Nixon's fate.... ) I believe Lou Cannon's biography of him, to be the best source on Reagan; Cannon knew Reagan from his California days. Rich
That is the bio that I was looking through. I plan to read it within time. The other bio dutch read more like a novel than a biography. Anyway, how would you type Reagan?
