...knew a child like that, and true to his nature, he fell out of a tree and died. Your story also implied that youngsters who have relatively major health problems grow up to be introverts. I learned about a boy like that. He grew up to be President Theodore Roosevelt...
Reagan's margin, 525 electoral votes to 13 for Mondale, was exceeded in modern times only by Franklin D. Roosevelt's 523-to-8 crushing of Alf Landon in 1936.* As of Wednesday morning, Reagan was winning 59% of the popular vote, a share not much below Lyndon Johnson's record 61.1% in 1964.
