Sunday marks the 100th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan’s birth — a hero to many Americans and man whose legacy continues to shape our country. I’m currently reading Robert Novak’s autobiography, “The Prince of Darkness,” which includes great stories about Reagan.

One of them came to mind yesterday when I read Matt Lewis’ post on Politics Daily about the attempted assassination of Reagan in March 1981. Lewis’ post, based on story from Peggy Noonan, is well worth a read for how close Reagan came to death.
