Thanks for posting this. Although I was 19 when this happened, I was not astute at anything that was happening in the world. I was, for all practical purposes, an idiot (look it up in the dictionary guys). May *od forgive me for my wasted youth.
But anyway great article on what happened in that terrible situation.
Young skul full of mush in 1980. My dad said: "VOTE FER REAGAN"... I did. And have voted+R+ ever since!
