A Unique Peroration on Mr. Reagan
I wouldn't normally think of an American president and a character from a fictional piece of fantasy literature in the same thought, but I suppose in Mr. Tolkien's very Christian universe of good and evil battling for dominance Mr. Reagan does seem to fit.

Remember those old cartoons where Superman would grab a severed electrical power cable and save the day by letting the current run through his body to its destination? Reagan grabbed the high tension wire of the American Soul with one hand and our dispirited Carter-Era psyche's with the other, allowing us to connect with the heritage we all knew but were told not to trust. The result? A surging economic freight train that (with one brief pause) didn't slow until the late '90's and a storm surge of democracy that's washed away dozens of totalitarian dictatorships.
