Reagan and Thatcher: 'It would take a crowbar to get them apart'
By David Wastell
(Filed: 06/06/2004)

When a former California governor telephoned Margaret Thatcher after the election victory that brought her to power in May 1979, he was not put through. Civil servants judged that, although Ronald Reagan was the first foreign politician to attempt to congratulate Britain's new Prime Minister, he was not sufficiently important.

Ronald Reagan, 1911-2004
The former president died today, but his legacy will influence American politics for decades
By TONY KARON
President Ronald Reagan is dead, but his legacy not only lives on; it dominates the American political landscape. Today many of the core principles of the "Reagan Revolution" that began with his victory over President Jimmy Carter in 1980 remain conventional wisdom not only for the Republican Party he remade in his own image, but also for the Democrats. The greatest tribute to a president's political impact is the adoption of his most popular ideas by his opponents — and when President Clinton spoke of ending the era of "big government" and reforming welfare, he knew full well that those ideas were brought into the Beltway by President Reagan.

Portrait: Ronald Reagan hat die Welt verändert
Republikanischer US-Präsident galt auch in Europa vielfach als Visionär
Washington - Ronald Reagan hat die Welt nach Ansicht vieler Historiker mehr verändert als jeder andere US-Präsident nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Dem 40. Präsidenten der USA (1981 bis 1989) kommt mit seiner damals heftig umstrittenen Politik der Aufrüstung und des Antikommunismus das historische Verdienst zu, entscheidend zum Zusammenbruch des totalitären sowjetischen Imperiums beigetragen zu haben.
