Chris Mathews on President Regan


"For what he did in bringing the Cold War to a close there can be no denials, no tut-tutting, not but-butting.  He saw the opportunity.  He saw what was happening in the Kremlin. "
"He saw the galloping horse of history pass within range and leapt upon it when no one else on the right had the daring to do it and, let's be straight here, it had to be someone of the right to jump into that particular saddle just as it took Charles DeGaulle to hop aboard that plane to Britain in 1940, leaving Vichy and the others of his country who could not see history's arrival."
