Whatever. I don't remember much about Reagan, and just can't relate to 
the fuss over the death of a long retired politician. Perhaps its 
different for Americans. I can't even remember when the last ex-prime 
minister of Australia passed away. May even have been Harry Holt, before 
I was born. Most of the recent ones are still alive, even the bloke who 
was leading the country during the worst of the Vietnam period. Same 
with Irish ex-Presidents and ex-PM's.
