Hi Christine!

Another thing left out of that documentary is that RR not only put himself through college, he paid to put his older brother through college.

>>Why is Reeves wrong about Reagan's economic policies, incidentally?

Because he takes the old liberal line of a zero sum society - he sees some people getting rich and reasons that those people must be taking something away from the poor. Even though that view has been disproven, that line is advanced by the demagogic envy campaigns Dems routinely run.

America's unprecedented 15-year boom is best explained by the
massive restructuring of businesses that began in the early 1980s, the
spread of high technology, the monetary stewardship of Greenspan and
Paul Volcker, and the worldwide enthusiasm for free markets and lower
tax rates that started with Ronald Reagan and has flourished since the fall
of the Berlin Wall.

The whole article is well-worth reading.

Btw, although I have never seen it, there is an award-winning film about Waco by PBS people. Siskel and Ebert loved it and it's up for an Oscar this year.

This is what your home-town paper said about it:

A powerful indictment, this long, gripping film may be necessary viewing for any person in a free society."
