A true leader, a man of his word and an optimist, he traveled the journey of his life with dignity and faced courageously the cruel disease that darkened his final years. He has earned a place in history and in people's hearts. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Is this just a polite talk, or Gorbachev means what he says? -- Buy high, sell sober.

His is a nice assessment of Reagan's place. My hat is off to Gorbachov. Until it happened, I never thought the end of the Soviet Union could come about in such a relatively peaceful manner... I even thought we would end up supporting the whole structure for decades just to avoid the chaos and unpredictability following a collapse. I'm not a complete idiot -- some parts are missing
