...third-base coach, who happened to double as a political-education instructor, peppered the Minsk third baseman with probing theoretical questions. Tragically, this led to the only fatality in big-time lapta. During the seventh game of the series, after uttering the ill-advised suggestion "Stick it in your ear, Comrade Coach," the luckless Minsk third baseman was dragged from the Cosmodome by large men in bulky suits, executed and later brought to trial...

Reagan knows this, but half an ear or even less is better than most recent Presidents have been able to command in their waning days. Time will tell if events permit Reagan to become a pedagogue. He has other pet subjects for discourse, such as the War Powers Act, which gives modern Presidents so many fits, and the two- term limit in office, which saps a Chief Executive's power in his last years...
