Here's Lou Cannon, Reagan's most visible biographer, writing about the man's life for The Washington Post.
Incidentally, I've already received one e-mail from someone who described the previous post as "a tasteless attack on a man whose body is not yet cold." Read it again, fella: The only thing I said about Reagan was that I believe many of his followers have erected an image of him that does not reflect the real man. I was criticizing them, not him, and also criticizing people who will try to exploit his death for their own causes. Like you just did.
