Reagan has often been drawn instinctively to simplistic, gimmicky solutions to problems that entail layers upon layers of historical background and technical complexity. Reagan's early fascination with supply-side economics in its least sophisticated form and his advocacy of a two-China policy are but two examples.

The other two members of the "troika" that constituted a kind of inner Government are expected to depart soon after Election Day: White House Chief of Staff James Baker...
