An Interesting Note on Reagan

Colby Cosh has penned a few words touching on Ronald Reagan’s recent demise, and states

“I’m spitballing a related piece for a future edition; stay tuned.”

But in the piece linked here, Colby mentions the following, which may take some critics of Reagan by surprise.

“The American public and punditariat have still not absorbed Edmund Morris’s discoveries that Reagan wrote the copy for his own radio broadcasts in the 1970’s and his own speeches before he arrived at the White House; that he was an aggressive and sure-handed editor of his speechwriters’ work as president; and that his papers contain “page after legal page of reasoned prose” in his own hand. Even Morris is still a little mystified about where it all came from.”

I’ll stay tuned for the piece he’s “spitballing.”
