Good old Ronald. There will never be another like him.
Christopher, how true. Much of the stuff written about him now must be anecdotal but I recall he once announced that his favourite book was ‘Little House on the Prairie’. Doesn’t that say it all?
Janus: well, Reagan was from a small town in Illinois, after all. It makes sense that his favourite book would be about another Plains state. I’m really quite fond of Reagan. He was instrumental in Germany’s reunification.

“Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall.”
Brilliant comment. Unfortunately, these days it seems to apply to any political platform except, maybe, UKIP.
