His family consisted of his parents, John and Nelle, and his older brother Neil. After a series of homes in Chicago, Galesburg, Monmouth, and Tam- pico, IL, the Reagans moved to Dixon, IL, in 1920. RONALD REAGAN con- siders Dixon his boyhood home. There he attended high school where he became involved in school football, basketball, and track. He served as stu- dent body president, participated in school plays and worked on the year- book. For 7 summers he was employed as a lifeguard at Lowell Park, and is credited with saving 77 lives. REAGAN graduated from Eureka College with a bachelor of arts degree in economics and sociology. At Eureka College he was also involved in extra- curricular activities including football, swim team, drama, yearbook editor, school newspaper reporter and student body president. After graduating college REAGAN became a radio sportscaster, first at WOC in Davenport, IA, later a full-time staff announcer at WHO in Des Moines. While reporting on spring training with the Chicago Cubs in Cali- fornia, he made a screen test for Warner Bros. They liked the easy-speaking, handsome REAGAN and signed him to a 7-year contract. REAGAN worked in Hollywood for the next 27 years and appeared in 53 films. His military career began in 1935 with enlistment in the Army Reserve. Two years later he was promoted to second lieutenant in the Reserve Corps of the Cavalry. In the Cavalry he learned to ride horses, which became a love he enjoyed throughout his life. In 1942 he was called to active duty in World War II. His eyesight made him ineligible for overseas duty, and he was assigned to the U.S. Army Air Corp’s First Motion Picture Unit attaining the rank of captain. There he appeared in numerous training films and starred in films selling war bonds. In 1940 he married Jane Wyman, an actress he met while filming Broth- er Rat. Maureen Reagan was born, and Michael Reagan was adopted before their divorce in 1949. He then met actress Nancy Davis, they fell in love, and were married in 1952. They had two children, Patti and Ronald Reagan. REAGAN and Davis appeared together in only one film, Hellcats of the Navy, made in 1957. In 2002 they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. vii viii Ronald Reagan After World War II, REAGAN returned to Hollywood. His interest in the entertainment industry waned and he became increasingly more focused on political matters. He was president of the Screen Actors Guild for 5 years, and toured the country giving speeches as General Electric’s celebrity spokes- man. In 1960 REAGAN campaigned for Richard Nixon as a Democrat for Nixon. In 1962 he switched political parties from Democrat to Republican. He co-chaired the California campaign for Barry Goldwater for President, and launched his political career with a televised speech, ‘‘A Time for Choos- ing,’’ which raised a record $8 million for the Goldwater campaign. In 1964 REAGAN appeared in his last film, The Killers. In 1966 he was elected Gov- ernor of California, where he served for 8 years from 1967 through 1975. In 1975 he announced his candidacy for President of the United States, but failed to win his party’s nomination. In 1980 he won the Republican nomination for the Presidency, was overwhelmingly elected, and was inaugu- rated as the 40th President of the United States in 1981. President REAGAN was the oldest man to be inaugurated as President, the first two-term Presi- dent since Eisenhower, and the longest living President of the United States. During his 8 years in office, REAGAN was wounded by an assassin’s bullet, appointed the first woman to the Supreme Court, worked to cut infla- tion and reduce government spending, improved the military, negotiated reduction of nuclear weapons with the Soviet Union, defeated the takeover of Grenada, and called upon Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall. At the age of 79 he left the Presidency and returned to California. In 1991 the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library was dedicated. In 1994 Presi- dent REAGAN released a letter to the American people announcing that he had Alzheimer’s disease, concluding his letter with, ‘‘I now begin this jour- ney that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead. Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.’’ RONALD REAGAN died on June 5, 2004, and is buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA.

  • A TIME for CHOOSING – a Speech by Ronald Reagan – 1964 – (Abbreviated Version)
    A TIME FOR CHOOSING – A speech by Ronald Reagan – 1964 – (Abbreviated version) Reprinted by SB - July 23, 2014 50 years later Hey SB! I started to grind my teeth the other day when Elizabeth Warren spoke at Netroots Nation, a convention for liberal bloggers and activists. She outlined 11 tenets of progressivism, and after each expressed belief or goal she emphasized it by saying emphatically: AND WE WILL FIGHT FOR IT! Actually SB, she did a VERY COMPETENT job of whipping this group of radical leftists into a collective lather. She’s good, SB! Don’t dismiss her! She’s a formidable force to deal with! Why not take her on in some fashion? …… And SOON! – Stefano Bachovich – obscure curmudgeon and wise political pundit – a prolific purveyor of opinions on just about everything – SB’s primary “go to guy.” OK Stefano! Back off! I’m on it! There’s nothing better to inspire the conservative troops than a speech by Ronald Reagan. This is one of several similar presentations Reagan gave as a stump speech, at speaking engagements, and on a memorable night in 1964 in support of Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign. This version is from that broadcast. As he expressed to all Americans: We have come to a time for choosing!!! - SB ______________________ I am going to talk of controversial things. I make no apology for this. It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self government." This idea -- that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power -- is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man.

  • 9 Purple 18/2
    THE CONCORD REVIEW 223 A VERY PURPLE-XING CODE Michael Cohen Groups cannot work together without communication between them. In wartime, it is critical that correspondence between the groups, or nations in the case of World War II, be concealed from the eyes of the enemy. This necessity leads nations to develop codes to hide their messages’ meanings from unwanted recipients. Among the many codes used in World War II, none has achieved a higher level of fame than Japan’s Purple code, or rather the code that Japan’s Purple machine produced. The breaking of this code helped the Allied forces to defeat their enemies in World War II in the Pacific by providing them with critical information. The code was more intricate than any other coding system invented before modern computers. Using codebreaking strategy from previous war codes, the U.S. was able to crack the Purple code. Unfortunately, the U.S. could not use its newfound knowl- edge to prevent the attack at Pearl Harbor. It took a Herculean feat of American intellect to break Purple. It was dramatically intro- duced to Congress in the Congressional hearing into the Pearl Harbor disaster.1 In the ensuing years, it was discovered that the deciphering of the Purple Code affected the course of the Pacific war in more ways than one. For instance, it turned out that before the Americans had dropped nuclear bombs on Japan, Purple Michael Cohen is a Senior at the Commonwealth School in Boston, Massachusetts, where he wrote this paper for Tom Harsanyi’s United States History course in the 2006/2007 academic year.

  • Reagan's Victory
    Reagan’s ictory How HeV Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison Foreword by William J. Bennett Reagan’s Victory: How He Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison 1 FOREWORD By William J. Bennett Ronald Reagan always called me on my birthday. Even after he had left the White House, he continued to call me on my birthday. He called all his Cabinet members and close asso- ciates on their birthdays. I’ve never known another man in public life who did that. I could tell that Alzheimer’s had laid its firm grip on his mind when those calls stopped coming. The President would have agreed with the sign borne by hundreds of pro-life marchers each January 22nd: “Doesn’t Everyone Deserve a Birth Day?” Reagan’s pro-life convic- tions were an integral part of who he was. All of us who served him knew that. Many of my colleagues in the Reagan administration were pro-choice. Reagan never treat- ed any of his team with less than full respect and full loyalty for that. But as for the Reagan administration, it was a pro-life administration. I was the second choice of Reagan’s to head the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). It was my first appointment in a Republican administration. I was a Democrat. Reagan had chosen me after a well-known Southern historian and literary critic hurt his candidacy by criticizing Abraham Lincoln. My appointment became controversial within the Reagan ranks because the Gipper was highly popular in the South, where residual animosities toward Lincoln could still be found.

  • Joe Mccarthy and the Red Scare
    Joe McCarthy and the Red Scare "We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men--not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular." ~Edward R. Murrow Overview In this lesson, students will study the effects of the actions of Joseph McCarthy and the Red Scare on American life in the 1950’s. During the warm up, students will be set up to replicate the actions of Senator McCarthy by accusing particular people of being communist, with no information other than a picture. Students will then receive an overview of the First Red Scare, as well as gain an understanding of the foreign and domestic reasons for the Second Red Scare, via an interactive Power Point presentation. The lesson culminates with students creating television commercials and campaign posters supporting or opposing the reelection of Senator Joe McCarthy.
