Ronald Reagan. 40th President of the United States of America, 1981-1989. Mr. Reagan was a well-known actor in movies such as Knute Rockne, All American (1940) and Kings Row (1942), and served seven terms as president of the Screen Actors Guild. Originally a member of the Democratic Party, he switched to the Republicans, and was Governor of California from 1967-1975. After two unsuccessful attempts at winning the Republican nomination for President of the United States, Mr. Reagan was successful in 1980, and handily defeated incumbent President Jimmy Carter in that year's election. Mr. Reagan survived an assassination attempt early in his presidency, and went on to successfully prosecute the Cold War with the U.S.S.R., while adopting policies that led to an improvement in the American economy. When Mr. Reagan left the White House in 1989, he left the world a more peaceful place than when he became President--exactly the opposite of the prediction of many of his critics. Mr. Reagan died on June 5, 2004 at the age of 93, after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. Mister, we could use a man like Ronald Reagan again.
