OUR RON br> Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s A Great Gentleman , Wlady Pleszczynski's America Loves Reagan , and John Tabin's He Changed the World : /p> p> Thanks for the articles. I was a Reagan delegate to my state's Republican convention in 1980. I was a new Republican at the time and Reagan offered all of us hope. We were in the middle of unreal inflation, prime rates were sky-high, gas was out of sight, and all you heard was gloom and doom from the liberals. Ronald Reagan's optimism was a breath of fresh air to the Carter policies of incompetence and a hope for ending the Iranian hostage crisis. Reagan brought about the biggest tax reform in American history with his endorsement of the Kemp-Roth tax package, along with his defense posture, which resulted in the collapse of the Soviet Union. The articles are right. There will never be another Reagan. Our nation has lost an icon. I am glad and privileged to have been a part of the Reagan "Revolution." br> -- Pete Chagnon /p> p> Wlady, how right you are. My college student daughter commiserated with me on the phone Saturday over the loss of our beloved Ronaldus Magnus. She was born in 1985, so some of her affection for him was inherited from her parents. Some results from the emanations of the man's greatness through history. Eyes still well over at the thought of his passing into a world where death no longer matters. He liberated millions with firing hardly a shot. br> --
