continued from page 1

Mr. Frum is not so keen on Reagan currency or statuary either.

“Let me suggest something: A museum in Washington dedicated to the victims of communism. The struggle against communism impelled American foreign policy for almost half a century. That struggle was also the central concern of Ronald Reagan’s political life. As much as Reagan cared about the geopolitics of the struggle, he cared even more about the human victims of communism’s brutal totalitarian ideology.”

The American Spectator writer Philip Klein observes, “I’d be all for it — as long as it’s privately funded.”
