Another book on Reagan
In response to: Rethinking Reagan
By Joe Illick ’56
Published in the Nov. 19, 2008, issue
I respect Sean Wilentz, and Mark Bernstein ’83 has written well about him. But the article asserts several times that no one has taken on this project before, and I must point out the well-reviewed book by my late colleague, Jules Tygiel, Ronald Reagan and the Triumph of...
What about objectivity?
In response to: Raking muck in the new public square
By Charles R. Parmele III ’47
Published in the Nov. 19, 2008, issue
I think that what Joshua Marshall ’91 did was admirable (feature, Oct. 8). However, how come he was silent when Clinton fired all the U.S. attorneys? How come The New York Times (very faulty reporting) and The Washington Post are the only papers mentioned? What has happened to...

The Reagan legacy
In response to: Rethinking Reagan
By James M. Guiher ’51
Published in the Nov. 19, 2008, issue
I was very surprised to find that Sean Wilentz (cover story, Oct. 22) did not mention the most damaging policy Ronald Reagan launched during his presidency. When President Reagan announced that “government is the problem,” deliberately created a huge deficit to “starve the...
