Minority Report
Hitchens, Christopher | September 20, 1986 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on U.S. President Ronald Reagan. The author states that there have been innumerable books on Reagan, but he craves for a book that would make the point that Reagan is a conscious, habitual liar. Even reporters who cover U.S. President and who get together to submit the regular "Reaganism of the Week" that adorns the bottom of journalist Lou Cannon's column in the newspaper "The Washington Post" every Monday, are a trifle shy about what stares them in the face. According to the author, many voters of all ages are sure they would fluff if they had to make speeches, meet foreign potentates and face the allegedly adversary press. But there is a difference between a lie and a slip.
