jimmy carter survived one term. there was a lot of sense among scholars of the presidency of the time that the office had become too big for any individual to fulfill it. and as chester pointed out, 1981 turned out to be an extraordinary year of presidential leadership. since then, we have only had one president who did not serve a full two terms. so reagan managed to confound the pessimists with the presidency that followed. i find this one haunting. in a good way. dixon -- charles dickens christmas carol. it was hard for cartoonist to caricature ronald reagan but one what this brings out was many viewed as a simple cinematic view of the world broken down into good guys and bad guys. policies,american this is something that was for a lot in support of unsavory characters engaged in human rights abuses against leftist regimes. this moves me say personally. of ais one reminded me quote from mark twain. i did not memorize so i will paraphrase, which you should never do with a writer as good as him. the essence of what
