 But I just wonder, given that Reagan is
a senile old dingbat, who is really behind him? Who really has the
power behind the throne?


For an interesting articles on at least two of "the men behind the throne"
read this week's (7/4) Village Voice.  It details how his good friend and
now national security advisor William Clark, while a Cal. suprememe court
justice, made a mockery of judicial procedure ethics.  Especially interesting 
is the
part where Reagan and Meese try to bribe the Chief Justice of the court.

The fact the William Clark  has any position of power in the foreign policy
aparatus is an outrage.  
Clark flunked out of both Stanford and Loyala law schools and passed the California bar exam on his second try.  This man was unable to identify the words
"Detente" and "Third World" at his confirmation hearing.  According to
Senator Charles Percy, Republican of Ill., Clark was totally unqualified for
job of National Security Advisor.  Percy voted for him anyway because
Reagan wanted him so much.  As he voted he said something to the effect
of "Never Again will I voted for such an incompetent".

Too late.
