New Time's Man of the Century.
I voted for Reagan as Time Magazine's Man of the Century. From where I sit, he virtually single-handedly destroyed two super-powers by spending them out of existence.

New Remember our discussions - but I forget: Who finally got it?
Hitler?

For better or worse (definitely worse!), he probably influenced the 20th century more than any other single man, AFAICS...

And that says something not only about him, but perhaps above all, about the last century: To have its greatest personal influence be such a bad one, it must have been a pretty bad century, on the whole.
