Mr. Morris,
Do you think, if you had the same opportunity for personal contact with and exposure to Teddy Roosevelt that you had with President Reagan, you would have thought yourself better than him (T. R.) as well?
Just a personal message, your book on President Reagan, in my opinion, was a terrible squandering of a irreplaceable opportunity.
It was apparent, from your writing, that you could not have invested much time reading his writings, which are extensive. That in itself is a disgrace.
I recommend that one listen to your book on tape rather than or in addition to reading the book. Your apparent repulsion to Ronald Reagan or jealousy of his success, for such an average guy (as you imply), is unmistakable when one hears your words in your own voice.
Because you missed the full depth of the man you made the mistake of comparing yourself to him. Doing so, your enormous ego blinded you further.
A simple bit of homework, reading his writings in his own hand, would have helped you realize your pre-conceived ideas of the man were wrong.
Your use of your exposure to this Great Man is, in my opinion, the greatest waste of the 20th Century.
If you don't fix this while you have the chance, you will be a joke for as long as anyone studies U. S. Presidents and their biographers.
