[National Register, 3 de mayo de 1999. La lista está formada por un consejillo de redacción enteramente anglosajón, blanco y que vota republicano, aunque (aparentemente) variado y con formación dizque superior]
THE LIST:
Brookhiser: “La gran historia del siglo, dictada por su gran héroe.”
Neuhaus: “Marcó el punto de inflexión definitivo absoluto, más allá del cual nadie podía negar el mal del Imperio del Mal”.
