Morris is Morris. A good friend of mine, an extremely bright and perceptive man now in business very successfully for himself, was deputy director of the CIA under Reagan, and met with him regularly for several years. His direct experience with Reagan is far different from what is written about him, in most cases by people who detested what he stood for.

>>Quote from Chris Lehman-Haupts's review in today's NYT of the Morris book: "Mr. Morris ... tells how Mr. Reagan failed to recognize his own son Michael at his high school commencement." Easy to understand. Lehman-Haupt is an extreme leftist ideologue. Read any of his reviews. His poor review of the Morris book ignores all but the negative, which he revels in. As for Reagan not recognizing his own son, that is also easy to explain. Reagan had very poor eyesight and was not using his glasses. Reagan started using contacts later in life. It is only willfully stupid people who can maintain that a man as outrageously successful as Reagan was in five or more separate careers was not a smart man. Thankfully, they are the ignorant minority. Morris also referred to Reagan as "superhuman, an immortal". Was that in the review? I didn't think so.
