I am not a big George Will fan unless he is talking about baseball, but this article brought out some good points and I am big Reagan supporter but I also know that some people on here have him as an icon without knowing any of the facts and refuse to listen -- revisionist history I thought was a liberal deal but I am finding some folks on the right do it as well.
I read a lot of books from various authors and will add this one to the list just to see what he has to say.
