Opening of the Reagan Library

I take great exception to “Americans Rate Reagan as an Average President.” George Skelton wrote that “Although Reagan . . . led the nation from inflation through recession into prosperity,” Americans still rate Reagan as merely an average President.

The “prosperity” of which Skelton writes is undefinably questionable as fact--certainly not a reality to many millions of Americans. However, Skelton’s article was so pro-Reagan that in it he not so subtly questioned the sense of those Americans polled--at least those who disagreed with his own apparent views.

Editorializing on Reagan’s “accomplishments” (or on any other subject) belongs not on the front page but with other such editorials. The front page should be reserved for news and unbiased facts.
