...this lede from The Times obit by Marilyn Berger:<p>Ronald Wilson Reagan, a former film star who became America's 40th president, the oldest to enter the White House but imbued with a youthful optimism rooted in the traditional virtues of a bygone era, died peacefully on Saturday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 93.<p>...with this from the WSJ by Jerry Seib:<p>Ronald Reagan sometimes got the little things wrong.<p>Who the hell is editing the Times, anyway? Forget ideology, the sentence structure alone is beyond-belief tortured, and just flat-out bad. It's not as if they didn't have a decade or so to get this right.
