FORTY-SIX YEARS AGO today on October 27, 1964, Ronald Reagan gave his now-legendary "Time for Choosing" speech. Next Tuesday, election day, we have our own "rendezvous with destiny."

Most of us don't - or just barely - remember Reagan (I was just 20, and in my second college work phase on Kwajalein Island in October 1964). So before you go to the polls, go here and read Reagan's speech in toto. It's timeless, and applies today as well as it did in 1964.
