Currently reading "The Reagan Diaries", and the thing that ticked off RR the most was the underhanded lies, and their refusal to see truth when he presented it to them face-to-face, coming from the Left. He'd say, "I'm afraid I'm talking to ears that refuse to hear."

Today I read about a Mediot who told him he had a picture of Reagan administration officials involved in a sex orgy, and that he would only show it to RR. Reagan refused to bite, and told him to turn it over to the Attorney General's office, which he didn't (probably because it didn't exist). Those weasels would make up scandals, and lie about his policies, to try to get to him, almost daily. Few of them had honor back then, and even less of them now.

The honesty and the humility of the man shines through. I haven't gotten to the Iran-Contra mess yet, but it will be interesting. It's a great book.

I hope the NYT goes under and they have to sell the equipment for salvage.
