Ronald Reagan - a tough politician with a sense of humour

Summary/Abstract: Ronald Reagan was one of the few presidents of the United States to enjoy immense popularity not only among his countrymen but also around the world. He was renowned for his remarkable sense of humour, optimism, and self-deprecation. Naturally, these qualities did not prevent him from being a seasoned politician. On the contrary, not only did he rule with a firm hand for two terms but also introduced many changes to American politics, and it is this area of his life that the first part of this article addresses. The second part is a collection of anecdotes, gaffes, and distortions of facts that accompanied him since birth. The third part contains curiosities, such as the president's famous quotes, a map of the world seen through his eyes, and handwritten notes that were part of his speeches.
