SPIN ONE FOR THE GIPPER

Seattle

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your June 28 coverage of Ronald Reagan. The media milked every last tear from "the American people" about this "American President," making everyone think he saved the country from communism and brought it back from the brink of destruction. You covered all my memories: Iran/contra, ignoring the AIDS crisis, deregulation, the S&L scandal, the firing of air-traffic controllers... Those eight years were a nightmare that we are all still paying for.
