From the Paper
"After his two terms as President, Reagan retired to his ranch in California to live out his golden years. In 1992, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and this sad time in his life may end up being his greatest legacy. The world became familiar with this debilitating disease as it progressed in the former President. People began to truly understand how this disease affects the mind of sufferers, and watched as a vital and healthy man degenerated into a life of isolation and withdrawal."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Edmund Morris' "Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan", Morris introduces himself into the narrative both as a true eyewitness and as a fictional one, who is both older and more American than the authentic Morris and lives a life oddly paralleled to Reagan's life. The author points out that, while "Dutch" clearly is not a traditional biography, it adheres to the most important aspects of the fundamental biographical style in that it provides the reader with ample information about Reagan through the most significant moments of his life. The paper relates that Morris developed this style because, despite having been paid more than $2.9 million to write an official biography, Morris found himself deterred by a calculated silence on Reagan's part, which left the author grappling to find who Reagan really was as a man.
From the Paper
"Throughout the course of the book, Morris again and again refers to Reagan in physical form, noticing his "deep-chested" strength as a youth, his elegant aging as a 30-year-old actor, and his stiff comportment as a President. At times the descriptions slide into the sensual: "That hard, splendid body, those bruising arms and knees, the prickle of wet wool..." describes the young lifeguard Reagan. Later, "that quiet, palpable mass, at once majestic and unthreatening. It's not simply an aggregate of height and breadth....he [crowds] one's horizon." While these descriptions may seem to be the result of literary license, emphasizing the body rather than the man, they have the distinct effect of creating a character who is almost a paperboard cut-out. By focusing on the two-dimensional, this effect iterates the importance of Reagan's "acting" rather than his authentic "feeling"."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the fortieth President of the United States, Ronald Wilson Reagan, displayed many outstanding leadership qualities throughout his long and eventful life. He first gained national fame and personal success as a movie actor in Hollywood, before becoming involved in southern California politics. His charisma, polished speaking skills, and conservative positions on social and national defense issues won him the California governorship in 1966, which made him a major figure in the Republican Party and future contender for the White House. Historians are in general agreement that Reagan pursued the governorship of California and the presidency of the United States because of the powerful influence Nancy Reagan had on him.

Abstract
The paper discusses and analyzes Reagan?s reforms and policies, whether these reforms helped the country?s economic growth and political relations with other countries, and a general assessment of Reagan as a conservative president. In effect, this paper centers on Ronald Reagan as U.S. president and the positive and negative aspects that led to the rise and fall of the ?Golden Age?, or ?Conservative Revolution?, in the history of America.
From the Paper
"In the history of United States, Ronald Reagan, 40th president of America, became popularly known as the leader of the ?Conservative era of American governance.? This is because during his term, he introduced reforms that radically changed the political and social landscape of the country. These radical changes, however, were not at all ?radical?; instead, Reagan proposed reforms that veered towards a conservative thrust among the nation?s domestic and international affairs. Reagan?s term between the years 1981-1989 introduced the popular economic reform termed as ?Reaganomics,? and strengthened the country?s domestic and international policies. Furthermore, Reagan had also managed to create and maintain civil foreign relations with the Union Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR), despite apparent hostilities between the two countries, particularly in the part of the United States."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the underlying achievement of Ronald Reagan's 1980 election campaign was that Reagan united the varying sections of the conservative movement and became a figurehead who appeared the heroic embodiment of American conservatism. It looks at some of his conservative reforms such as defense agenda as well as changes to legislation and public thought.
From the Paper
"Reagan succeeded in implementing his conservative defence agenda during his first term as his administration 'spent unprecedented sums for a massive defence build up' that included the 'placement of intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe to counter Soviet deployments of similar missiles.' Reagan also succeeded in pressing ahead with the controversial 'Strategic Defense Initiative' (SDI) research programme that would 'explore advanced technologies, such as lasers and high-energy projectiles' to 'defend against intercontinental ballistic missiles,' despite the extraordinary sums of money involved."

President Ronald W. Reagan, 2007.
This paper argues that Ronald Reagan epitomizes the heart of leadership.
1,295 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 6 sources, APA, AU$ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that Ronald W. Reagan (1912-2004) is now considered to be among the greatest U.S. presidents, which is not a bad achievement for a former "not so great" Hollywood actor who, at 69, was the oldest person to be elected president. The author stresses that Reagan possessed most of the qualities common in all great leaders, such as courage, confidence, vision, character, passion and great communication skills. The paper relates that these leadership qualities enabled Regan not only to lift the country out of economic depression and a serious crisis of confidence but also won the Cold War against the Soviets without firing a single shot.
From the Paper
"Like other successful leaders, Reagan was a visionary. He had an unflinching belief in the superiority of democracy and capitalism over the totalitarian philosophy of Communism. Very early on in his Presidency, therefore, he had boldly predicted that "the march of freedom and democracy ... will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history." Coupled with his grand, long-term vision of the international scene to end the Cold War on a triumphant note, he also had an equally ambitious domestic vision of reducing the intrusiveness of the government and ..."

Ronald Reagan: The Great Communicator, 2003.

Abstract
This paper discusses Reaganomics and how it has affected the United States. It compares different economic statistics before, during, and after Reagan's years in office and analyzes them. It talks about the Cold War and argues that the way Reagan handled it was the best and only way to topple the Evil Empire. It also discusses his character and how he is completely different from the way that the popular media portrayed him and continues to portray him.
From the Paper
"On numerous occasions, critics have undermined Reagan and his ability to accomplish all that he did. Two examples of these critics undermining Reagan?s intelligence and success as a president came from two of his serious biographers ? Lou Cannon, a journalist who covered Reagan both as a governor and as President, and Edmund Morris ? did not identify a credible key to his success, relying in slightly different ways on the conventional explanation that his success was related to his background as an actor. The title of Cannon?s book, President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime, was obviously chosen to emphasize the link between Reagan?s presidency and his past career."

Abstract
Examines President Reagan's commitment to the SDI. His personal involvement with the Star Wars notion. His personal and political beliefs. Speeches he gave that dealt with the need for SDI. Use of the term "evil empire." Positioning of SDI as the primary strategic response of the U.S. Reagan's simple view of good and bad.
From the Paper
"Ronald Reagan's decision to announce the Strategic Defensive Initiative (SDI) on March 23, 1983 had its roots in Reagan's personality, beliefs, and management style. But the event has been shrouded in protective myths that, while they allowed for the effects of the President's personality and decision-making process, primarily served propaganda needs and the particular strategies of those who told the stories. Critical interpretations of the development of the idea and its presentation have covered a broad range of possibilities as well--from the influence of the movies on the President to the pro-Reagan claims that his concern over the abolition of all nuclear weapons was the true source of his interest in the SDI. By all accounts, however, Reagan was extraordinarily detached from the decision-making process in his own administrations, both as ..."

From the Paper
"This research draws comparisons with the economic theories of Adam Smith in the 1770s, the economic policies followed during the presidency of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, and the economic prescriptions advocated by Jeffrey Sachs in the 1990s. The emphasis in this research is on trade and economic activity.
In the formulation of economic theory, Adam Smith was principally concerned with the factors which led to increased wealth in an economy. Smith (1776, pp. 131-136) contended that the cost of labor provided the basis for the determination of the value of a commodity. Smith further contended that it was the relative expenditure of labor that mattered. Smith also contended, however, that the factors of supply and demand also affected the actual price levels (inflation) of commodities in the ... "

From the Paper
"Lyndon Baines Johnson and Ronald Reagan led two of the most influential presidencies of post-war America. Yet, their personal and political styles could scarcely have been farther apart. Johnson was a moderate-to-liberal Southerner who moved far to the left; Reagan was a formerly liberal Westerner who moved far to the right. Johnson was a hands-on, lifelong legislator who relished power and used it effectively. Reagan became famous for his hands-off managerial style, relying on his ability as a communicator to sway opinion.
Johnson fought wars on two fronts: against poverty at home, and against Communism in Vietnam. In both he expended huge amounts of personal and political capital, and in both, ultimately, he was unsuccessful.. Reagan also fought two wars, ... "

From the Paper
"Ronald Reagan was 26 years old when he arrived in Hollywood in 1937. His Midwestern identity was shaped in a world of family ties, homespun morality, and patriotism.. However, his early years were not totally idyllic. His father's alcoholism was a continual source of family shame and anxiety.
Reagan attended Eureka College, where he played football and joined the student dramatic society. After college, his first success was as a radio sports announcer in Iowa. His genial personality, his belief in his own worth, and his refreshing optimism were traits helped make this initial success and were those that formed the basis of the persona that would soon begin appearing on motion picture screens throughout the country.
Reagan was given enough substantial film roles to establish his presence and gain recognition. His marriage to actress Jane..."

From the Paper
"This research paper describes and contrasts the political ideologies and strategies and the economic and social policies of the presidencies of Lyndon Baines Johnson (1963-1968) and Ronald Reagan (1980-1988). There were some parallels between their presidencies. Both men achieved their greatest legislative accomplishments during their early years in office. They each built successful political coalitions and won landslide mandates for a second term. Neither of them managed the economy well. The contrasts were even more striking. Johnson and Reagan pursued fundamentally different political strategies, economic and social policies because of the conditions they faced, their differing backgrounds, political and management styles and their opposing basic political philosophies and ideologies..."

Ronald Reagan, 1996.
Critical review of autobiography, "An American Life," focusing on CA governorship & presidency.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 1 source, AU$ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Ronald Reagan's long-awaited autobiography, An American Life, gives a revealing look at the former U.S. president's life. This book is important because the former president explains things from a personal standpoint, which endears him to readers while he is attempting to get a point across.
Reagan says his career might not have happened had he failed to get the job he wanted in the sporting goods department of Montgomery Ward. The book is also important for its historical value. For instance, Reagan recalls being raised in the Great Depression of the 1930s, when he hitch-hiked back home, dejected, after failing to find work in Chicago (20). He finally got a job in Davenport, Illinois. His job, announcing the Iowa-Minnesota Homecoming Game, paid 5 dollars for a day's work (65)."
