Hey guys--

Did you know that it was Doc who told Reagan to utter the famous phrase, "Mr. Gorbechav--tear down that wall."

The original speech had the following:

"I like this wall. Can we borrow it so we can put it up between the Texas/Mexico border..."

Doc had lunch with Ronnie before the speech--when Reagan came to that line, Doc winced.

He told Reagan--"Sorry Ron--I have a better line. Besides, only a real dumbass would want to put a wall between countries anymore..."
