Hi Ricky, That's great info on Reagan. I did not know about that $50 million and that was why I kept wondering at the time why Reagan was such a fan of Marcos. I felt that Reagan might have been secretly infatuated with the Iron Butterfly, who was flitting from one royalty to the next with the grace and splendor of the Monarch butterfly and putting a hypnotic trance on foreigners while evoking only bitterness and hatred among the mass of her own people.
