That fine recent book about Ronald Reagan, Tear Down This Myth, by one of our favorite reporters/bloggers Will Bunch of the Philly Daily News is out in paperback this week. From the starred Booklist review: "The truculent jingoist of the myth was concocted after Alzheimer’s silenced the man and the would-be juggernaut launched by the GOP’s 1994 election triumph crashed and burned before a Democratic president who shrank government and the deficit, balanced the budget, and even racked up surpluses. Bunch names the leading, venal mythmakers and shames the myth exploiters, too. Anyone interested in America’s immediate future should read this book."
