...Afterward, Mondale's men were ecstatic. "It was beyond our wildest dreams," said Richard Leone, a senior adviser. "The contrast was striking. It was a metaphor for what is wrong with America. Reagan had the opportunities to talk about the future and he said nothing." Said Campaign Chairman James Johnson: "The most important thing that happened tonight was that Walter Mondale took command of the stage on which Ronald Reagan was standing."

They did not seem impressed by his example of success: an Indian born and raised in Trinidad, then a British colony, who had won a scholarship to Oxford and afterward, as an admirable writer, earned much favor in Western eyes. All that those mullahs and ayatullahs seemed to want was to make trouble and pray.
