Never before in our history has a president claimed, as one of his great virtues, complete ignorance of what was going on in his own White House.

If it is truly the case that Mr. Reagan didn`t know what Ollie North was doing, on what basis did he go out of his way to publicly call him a

”national hero”? And, if what North did was perfectly legal, why was he fired?

The American citizenry must decide whether this is the kind of leadership it wants to continue to support.
