...miss Clinton's intelligent,thoughtful and truly compassionate leadership. He has the kind of genuine concern that pays more than lip service to the needs of the common citizen. I was struck by the fluidity of his responses and his understanding of complex geopolitical issues he faced as President. I am so used to the current Administration's terse, repetitive and convoluted statements-which don't respond to anything-that I had forgotten what real leadership sounds like.

...America. It is disrespectful not to fight for those who died on 9/11. Alexis A. Emery Aberdeen, New Jersey, U.S. Reagan's Faith in Action In "the secrets of Reagan's success" [June 14], columnist Joe Klein was mistaken when he wrote that Reagan "never paid much more than lip service to the right-to-life movement." Reagan instituted the Mexico City policy, which prohibited foreign nongovernmental organizations that received U.S. funds from providing abortion, abortion-counseling referrals or related services, and reversed the U.S. commitment to international family planning.

Reagan instituted the Mexico City policy, which prohibited foreign nongovernmental organizations that received U.S. funds from providing abortion, abortion-counseling referrals or related services and reversed the U.S. commitment to international family planning. Moreover, he cut off funding for fetal-tissue research because his supporters didn't approve of medical science using aborted fetuses. The irony is that such research might well have led to a cure for Alzheimer...
...followed by two years of large, if undramatized, tax increases. He didn't shrink the size of the government (Bill Clinton was the only recent President to do that). Reagan was a champion of the religious right, but rarely attended church and never paid much more than lip service to the right-to-life movement. He was a critic of government waste, but routinely lavished more money on the military than the Pentagon asked for--and he stubbornly insisted on funding an utterly preposterous missile-defense program that his detractors, and eventually his supporters, called Star Wars...
