Reagan the Great Persuader reshaped the world
David Broder reflects on Ronald Reagan's career and power of persuasion. He recalls Reagan's early speeches to Eureka College students, his 1964 Goldwater shift or 1980 tax cuts and defense surge, and his belief that freedom would topple the Soviet Union.
