Watch yourself Matt! NR was Reagan's Favorite
President Reagan on February 21st, 1983:
"I think you know that National Review is my favorite magazine. I've even paid the ultimate compliment of commandeering two of your longtime contributors, Aram Bakshian and Tony Dolan, on our White House staff. NR isn't a favorite only because it's fought the good fight so long and so well, although that would be reason enough. It's my favorite because it's splendidly written, brilliantly edited, and a pleasure to read. In fact, I honestly believe even if I were to suffer from mental illness or convert to liberalism for some other reason - [laughter] - NR would still be my favorite magazine because of its wit and its charm and intellectual quality of its contents."
But, Human Events is great too. I know Matt writes for them!
