Reagan and American Arrogance of Power

Reagan and American Arrogance of Power GPD TO nobody's surprise Reagan has won a second term. It is a great relief. Newspaper columns all over the world and particularly in the United States try very hard and make the hustings an interesting affair. But it is not very easy to escape the boredom. Elections over, one can expect some relief from pollsters, their calculations, largely meaningless debates between the conservatives and the not-so-conservatives, and so on. It is amazing how like the makers of the 'masala' Hindi film, American scribes make the same plot look different every four years! For another four years our solitude cannot now be invaded by the poll-figures and the devices which try and make American democracy look quite glamorous.
